7.1.6 Klaus Schulze's "Dune"
German electronica composer Klaus Schulze made an album inspired by
Frank Herbert's novel in 1979. It is available on CD as a foreign
import.
"Dune" by Klaus Schulze. Metronome GmbH 1979
Track list:
-Dune (30:06)
-Shadows of Ignorance (26:15)
The first track is instrumental, while the second has singing (in
English) by one Arthur Brown. The lyrics don't seem to have any
connection to Dune. Schulze's "X" album contains a track called "Frank
Herbert".
7.1.7 David Matthews' "Dune"
David Matthews (not the Dave Matthews of the Dave Matthews Band)
arranged a Dune album in 1977. One side of the LP (there is no known CD
release, only stereo 8 track and cassette) contains Dune-related
material, the other various science-fiction material. Another of
Matthews' albums also contains a tribute to Frank Herbert.
"Dune" by David Matthews. CTI Records: A Division of Creed
Taylor, Inc. 1977
Track list:
Side 1-Dune
-Part I Arrakis (6:03)
-Part II Sandworms (5:03)
-Part III Song of the Bene Gesserit (2:50)
-Part IV Muad'Dib (6:36)
Side 2
-Space Oddity (6:05)
-Silent Running (3:16)
-Princess Leia's Theme (from Star Wars) (2:55)
-Main Theme from Star Wars (3:22)
The music is some kind of disco-jazz, with lyrics only on David Bowie's
Space Oddity (not sung by Bowie, though). Side 2 is generally the more
enjoyable, because of its unusual versions of well-known songs.
7.1.8 "Eros"
The French band Dün released this album independently in 1981. In 1999
it was re-released on CD by the Soleil label.

7.1.9 "Parallel Galaxy"
Emmett Chapman, inventor of the Chapman stick, released a solo album
called Parallel Galaxy in 1985. A track from this album
(Backyard)appears on the Alan Smithee cut of Dune as Gurney plays the
baliset (in reality a thinly disguised Chapman stick).
