People are asking "why is this so different to the soundtrack? This is so much better!" This is because this wasn't scored to film. This is meant to be music that stands for itself - music to be listened to. The soundtrack is meant to be absorbed with the visual element of the film. They both have very different purposes, and I don't think they can be really compared without seeing the soundtrack alongside the film first.
Since the 1980s aesthetics of electronic music robbed by hollywood and the advent of late capitalism, made sure the sound would not change .. This is just one example of that stagnation - or up and down, left and right, of tremendous loudness and technological authority. Hans Zimmers will be replaced by AI and robot muzak. Those who are asking "why is this so ..." Have not really heard much music. Instead have spent a fair amount of time in idol worship and hoping for the golden past to appear... Adios.
Well I only half admit. When you watch Interstellar or Inception and listen to OS, they are plenty of missing part of music in the movies and you don't feel the full album listening. But you have a strong, powerfull, beautiful main theme, which lives in those movies. When listening to the OS of Dune (not this album), I hadn't felt a kind of theme on which i can lay down, something memorable. Discovering this album was a relief, and a real pleasure. Need to rewatch Dune again to be sure, but maybe a better use of this masterpiece could have been done ?
It's an insane piece. You get what the Atreides are about;an ancient Mediterranean dynasty, all about honor and duty, hailing from a stormy "Scottish" world.
@@user-zo8nl9be5l True but I still missed the Nolan-Zimmer magic & I can’t even imagine what crazy innovations Hans would’ve made when approaching inverted music (ludwig did a great job though)
Seen it now. Lived up to my hype, so I recommend it. :) Face the hype. Permit it to pass over you and through you. And when it has gone past, turn your inner eye to see its path. Where the hype have gone, there will be a great movie. Only it will remain.
It is ABSOLUTELY unique and original, it's so crazy! The official score is even better, he fully develops these sketches into full-blown sequences: ua-cam.com/video/dQCGr0P4PIk/v-deo.html
Hans intended the soundtrack to sound nothing like traditional European music, and looks like he delivered. The score sounds so foreign and otherworldly, yet so personal, with some tracks leaving you frightened, and others surprisingly warm... Overall, just brilliant work by Mr Zimmer!
That first song, Song Of The Sisters, got me some heebie-jeebies, especially with the use of the disembodied voices! I can't explain anything much, just wow! It does captures the creepy, ancient and mysterious vibes of the Bene Gesserit sisterhood.
Completely agree! Also, those chants starting at about 5:00 is what I always imagined the followers of ancient cults like those of Attis and Cybele sounded like, when they entered into religious frenzy during their rituals.
Incredible how you imagine the scenes of the movie just by listening to this music, you get hypnotized by it, I can't wait to watch this movie on the big screen on a few weeks.
I love how indigenous the score gets and it's really incredible to see how the sketchbook ideas developed into the real thing. The synth combo singing at 1:24:17 seems like it turned into this throat singing effect for "Atrides Deception" for the film score: ua-cam.com/video/dQCGr0P4PIk/v-deo.html I can't wait to see it all come together in the film!
The female choral work is so beautiful, makes so much sense in the frame of the world of Dune, and really pleasantly reminds me of the Lord of the Rings soundtracks in the best possible ways.
I recently came to think of a continuum of movie music composers that has Hans Zimmer on one end, John Williams on the other, and Howard Shore in the center.
@@ncrranger6327 I would say Dunkirk, it’s technically perhaps the most challenging score ever made (because it’s based on many overlapping mathematical sound illusions such as Shephard tones, Risset rhythms etc).. it’s better to listen to it in the context of the film because the sound is so interwoven with the images and it’s based on creating a constant sense of tension, it never ends!
A chunk of this album is in Part Two, mostly some cues that were not used in the first part. Feels like the Part One score, this and Part Two's form a solid cohesive whole now, telling that story through the music. Listening to it all in a row now is pretty awesome.

Frank Herbert's absolutely brilliant hexalogy deserved this incredible soundtrack. The Dune universe (Villeneuve's excellent film included) could not inspire anything less than this sonic majesty. Long live to Hans Zimmer.
Honestly one of the best soundtracks ever imo. It sounds out of this world yet somewhat familiar. Everything here is new and fresh, not for the purpose of "just doing something different" but because it seemed appropriate. A true work of art.
@@MayorofAvabruck Don't know if I'd agree with that. I didn't like this soundtrack at first because it sounded so "weird" but I found it interesting and kept coming back to it. Those things that I don't initially like but keep coming back to often transform into my favorites. The soundtracks you mention are certainly more accessible and instantly recognisable as great works but I'd rank this one right up there with them. My alltime favorite soundtracks from Zimmer are Interstellar and Inception though :)
The difference between listening to this on headphones and getting blasted away by the cinema boxes is simply mindblowing. This is honestly one of Zimmers best pieces yet.
Normal people - "Autotune is a divisive tool used to correct pitch mistakes in singers." Hans Zimmer - "Hmm... pass me those bagpipes, let's see what this does..."
@@jedix Nah that's the weirdest thing, it's used for people who don't need it - resulting in them just sounding less human for no reason. Best example would be Michael Buble who is pitch perfect.
Just wow. Everytime you have the feeling, that he now repeats himself in a piece, he does something different. Maybe the first OST I buy for 20 years. How refreshing, having a epic movie, from a well known book, and then a none typical soundtrack. Usually you get those big classical orchestra pieces like Lord of the Rings.
I’ve never understood why sci fi movies/media have mostly shied away from going experimental and doing a fusion of synth and orchestral or just a more digital sound in general. I cannot tell you how freakin elated I was that Zimmer went against that trend with this. And honestly, I don’t think there’s a more perfect subject matter than Dune for this approach.
I have not heard such a unique movie score for science fiction since Bear McCreary's work on the Battlestar Galactica re-imagining , It's got its own unmistakable atmosphere that sounds like nothing else out there before it.
After many delays and global calamities, I finally got the chance to watch Dune Part 1 yesterday, on Imax. I'm going back to watch it another time, it's truly a unique expierence.
i saw it 3 times in the end. probably should have gone for a 4th. i got a 65" tv in our bedroom, seriously considering getting a sub woofer for it now after the hans work on 2049 and dune xD
It really has to do with time. Popular movie composers are usually working with their team at a breakneck pace. Hanz Zimmer, especially, has historically worked under crazy time crunches. Dennis V. really made sure that there was enough time to get everything right. The fact that we have this is a testament to that.
Wait no longer for the official film release, it's been out now since the showing at Cannes and Venice film fest: ua-cam.com/video/dQCGr0P4PIk/v-deo.html
Actually it's an insteresting parallelism: just like the movie is a fragment of something much bigger, the same goes with OST. And this sketchbook serves as a journey to the expanded world of Dune.
Oh definitely. I wonder if those with a more musical ear than mine can discern how Hans is setting up opportunities for himself. I feel like he can go even more grand with themes like the House Atreides one he has made, but the screaming voice that seems to accompany Maud dib feels like it's already widened the horizon of epic emotion and I dare not imagine how much further Hans can go.
@@pseudonymousbeing987 the point of the atreides bagpipes it that it's a royal, bombastic, score....and the last time you'll ever hear of the bagpipes in the films as the house is shortly destroyed
Wow. Just as a fan of Dune but also a person who works in film, this is stunning. I cannot wait to put eyes on this film. I do believe this is the Dune we will collectively love.
The key to Zimmer's success is that he truly and simply .... listens. All great composers have known this Truth through the ages, and it runs true for film composers as well. There are many wonderful film scorers who do amazing work, but Zimmer immerses his soul into the essence of the story and ... listens!
@@lukeskywalker6809 Supposed to build suspense with the scene, amplifying the mood The Director intends the viewer to feel, right? You obviously need to be quiet.
I'll be the first to admit that at first, i was really taken back by how different and strange the Sketchbook sounded. But the more i listen to it, the more i liked just how...alien it sounds. Listening to Song of the Sisters for the second time is incredible.
I was lucky enough to get one of the first 3000 pressings of this on vinyl and it's easily the most beautiful vinyl collection I've ever seen, and it's literally overwhelming to listen to on a proper setup. I don't understand how Hans Zimmer even functions.
I can really visualise the song I see you in my dreams, I can imagine Paul dreaming of Arakis and Chani, The music is almost telling a story its pure class
0:00 - Song Of The Sisters 16:27 - I See you in my Dreams 34:50 - House Atreides 48:44 - The Shortening Of The Way 59:58 - Paul's Dream 1:07:03 - Moon Over Caladan 1:15:38 - Shai-Hulud 1:25:25 - Mind-Killer 1:36:36 - Grains Of Sand
Is it just me, or do some of the sounds in this make anyone else think of breathing via the still suits? Without looking at any "track" names, the bagpipe track really made me connect it with the Atreides.
Imagine hearing singing but they're using the voice. I like how the bass hit first before hearing the words. You feel it first before you understand what was said. Hearing that in theaters was next level.
I know you didn't ask for this, I understood you perfectly, but just some feedback. *quite better= a lot better/significantly better "I must admit"- you can only say this if you were previously upholding an opposing viewpoint. "I have to say"- you can say this to emphasise surprise without having previously upheld a viewpoint.
House Atreides themes gives me the goose bumps all the time. specially around 42.25 .. I can clearly picture the marching band of scotland pipe instruments and Gurney Hallec in the front, proudly playing his balisette
Amazing Sketchbook! If u don’t know here is a short fyi about a sketchbook „Hans always made these „sketchbooks“. It’s the name for his Cubase diary. That’s the first ideas he had for a film. The final score will be different but similar.“ And no, it's not Lisa Gerrard, it's Loire Cotler ;-)
When I listen to this, I feels like I'm being abducted by aliens 👽 I have to congratulate Hans Zimmer on his future Oscar win for Best Original Score. Just you all wait.
@@eliasvelasquezripalda5383 I have to recommend you to delete this comment because it doesn't make any sense and you sound ridiculous. There's no doubt that Zimmer is a legend and everybody knows it without you. Think twice before writing and sending anything like this.
Part of what makes Dune so incredible to me is how immersive the world is Everything from the landscape and the cultures of the people in it , to the political dealings that make up the universe and it’s plot And this album is made to service that aspect These themes represent the depth of the world Giving a sound and rhythm to elements that make the world as rich as it is
WONDERFULL, and I say it after watching the screen for a few minutes, I very observant the letters D, U, N, and E is the same symbol, U that has been turning 3 o'clock 6 o'clock 12 o'clock and 9 o'clock, or the 4 wind directions of the desert. with the letter E, has a planet as the middle line, nicely done, awesome
This is so wild...it is like we have been catapulted 10,000 years into the future and we are listening to music that will be composed and enjoyed 10,000 years from now.
Because you can't just put the songs in the movie, it needs to match with the scenes and their timings, so they unfornately needed to be cut :( But big thanks to Hans Zimmer and WaterTower to publish the fully soundtrack there :)
@@arustabys9782 The upside is that while the OST is less free to explore the ideas that the long form pieces are, it is able to mix with the sound design and visuals - and oh boy does it achieve that. The movie just clicks, all the pieces fall together to create an atmosphere you can cut with a knife. And sure, this Sketchbook is incredible, and a better album to just listen to - but the movie versions are masterpieces in their own way.
Why do I get the feeling that the first few noises are worm-Leto 2? And that we hear him on a regular basis, like in the Atreides theme, suffering while endlessly reliving the memories? Is the movie just him letting us have a glimpse.
No matter how hard you try Hans, you won't make me forget that epic remix of Pink Floyd's Eclipse from the trailer... i'll never forget how hyped i was for a pink floyd OST in a villeneuve DUNE movie... Man that would have been something....
@Flo MoonYeah It was magnificent. Vaguely reminiscent of what they've done with Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in the new Quantumania trainer...
You expect a song from 1973 to be used inside a movie set in the year 22000 that is being played completely straight and serious? Jorodowsky getting pink Floyd to create original music would make sense, but it's an abomination to have a rock song used like that. I hope we get more interesting stuff like that in the marketing and once again get an official release of it, but no it has no place in the films. Just be grateful that we actually got a Hans Zimmer remix! C'mon.
Listening to this is surreal. You can tell it Hans Zimmer, but it is so unlike what we have heard in many ways. This sound is best described, I think, as the obvious and inevitable result that could not have been imagined beforehand.
1:31:18 That took me by surprise. I almost bursted out laughing imagining the Sisterhood, including the Reverend Mother, wildly dancing at a rave party.
Ewwww no thank you. I glad this sketchbook of rough ideas is not how the actual film score turned out. The real score heard in the film is so much better: ua-cam.com/video/dQCGr0P4PIk/v-deo.html
honestly i think this is hans just writing the score for the next film and calling it the "sketchbook" so he can pick and choose from it when the filming is done for the next movie
Definitely getting Xperiments from Dark Phoenix vibes in this one. I’m not even mad. Love hearing these kind of versions of soundtracks. Kind of wished that there were more like this in all honesty.
Hans Zimmer doesn't do this. Even when like Blade-Runner, or anything else. But it would have been better had he actually worked with the original guys, or actually really built on the original music.... Kinda-like what Jerry-Goldsmith did here and there with Courage, or many other examples.
@@robertkoernke588 " it would have been better had he actually worked with the original guys, or actually really built on the original music" As much as I love Toto's OST, I strongly disagree with that. Dune 2021 needed to be it's own thing. I've seen the film and it's a great win IMO.
@@targard.quantumfrack6854 Sorry, I've tried listening to these sound-tracks and the 'official' version. To me its just clanging symbols. Zimmer has done some decent stuff. Every one of his movie-tracks styles are different, almost like he's a different composer. But this is too far out there for me. There is no ear-candy here.
I dream of a desert, endless and white. The heat layers me and the wind stings my face as I gaze out to the sea of ancient sands. My path leads to the desert.
The extended theme of House Atreides is SICK! I would pay gold to see a sort of greeting by House Atreides to Caladan's population before leaving the planet with all the bagpipes players!

Never saw a 'sketchbook version' of 2049 soundtrack. I wonder if that is available anywhere?
@@AudioPervert1 I'm curious. What alternative sound or non-techno aesthetic have we missed out on? Could you give me some leads?
Somewhere around 38 minutes I decided I would give my life for House Atreides
Same :-]
yeah! its so genius to represent noble and brave House Atreides by Scotland the Br.. Scotland pipe
House Atreides is what happened when you cross Scottish anthem with Mongolian grittiness.
U'll have to give it too easily then - if u'll be following the ways of the film ;)
It's an insane piece. You get what the Atreides are about;an ancient Mediterranean dynasty, all about honor and duty, hailing from a stormy "Scottish" world.
I was upset when I heard Hans was dropping Tenet for this. I've been corrected. This is fckning insane. Goosebumps.

I was lucky enough to get one of the first 3000 pressings of this on vinyl and it's easily the most beautiful vinyl collection I've ever seen, and it's literally overwhelming to listen to on a proper setup. I don't understand how Hans Zimmer even functions.
Just being a genius I guess as he has never had any formal musical education believe it or not.
He doesn't do this alone! He has a "Team" of Musician/Composers, and Sound Designers. It's kinda like Amazon, or MicroSoft! - He is the CEO, though.
I can really visualise the song I see you in my dreams, I can imagine Paul dreaming of Arakis and Chani, The music is almost telling a story its pure class
0:00 - Song Of The Sisters
16:27 - I See you in my Dreams
34:50 - House Atreides
48:44 - The Shortening Of The Way
59:58 - Paul's Dream
1:07:03 - Moon Over Caladan
1:15:38 - Shai-Hulud
1:25:25 - Mind-Killer
1:36:36 - Grains Of Sand
Patrick Star is heard faintly yelling/singing at 1:18:17. How genuis it was for Hans Zimmer to enist the talent of such a voice.
This soundtrack leaves me speechless.
Zimmer just opened the doors for a new ERA in the sonic world, thank you LEGEND
The film was so amazing, and so is the music. I look forward to the Hanz Zimmer concert, for which I have tickets.
That was a wild ride. Hans Zimmer never fails to impress.
Thank you for uploading this.
So glad they also released the sketches, sounds so great! I d call it soundtrack volume 1 🔥🔥🔥
The ending of book 1 goes so beautifully with Moon Over Caladan. Especially the last 3-4 pages
Hans Zimmer last name means زمر in Arabic which means to 'toot' or use a 'horn' to make sound from an instrument.
Hah how fitting
Zimmer means room in German actually, but yeah nice find
BRAAAM!!
@@yyy2998 well if by “horn room” you mean a sound studio then that’s where you’d find Zimmer 90% of the time 🙃
Mike olfield's songs of distant earth + jean michelle jarre's oxygen's reminiscences + Zimmer's Bane theme. This is glorious!!!!
"Shai-Hulud" captures the epicness of the Sandworm perfectly
Epic? I think so... Honestly, I am right now obsessed with this on so many levels/reasons. What an amazing find.
I saw the film yesterday here in italy, go to see it, it s a musterpice and deserve a part 2 right now. Go to the cinema pls
the number of times I replayed this masterpiece is unprecedented.
Stunning. Beautiful. This is a thing I will listen to when I draw. Years of inspiration and energy...Thank you.
Is it just me, or do some of the sounds in this make anyone else think of breathing via the still suits?
Without looking at any "track" names, the bagpipe track really made me connect it with the Atreides.
There's also a slithering sound that evokes the sound of sand dunes
@@ryan.1990 Exactly!
Imagine hearing singing but they're using the voice. I like how the bass hit first before hearing the words. You feel it first before you understand what was said. Hearing that in theaters was next level.
I must admit this album is quite better than the Official Soundtrack.
I agree surprised the first song is not in it. 13:00 - 16:00 is epic.
hopefully some tracks will appear in the potential Part II
I know you didn't ask for this, I understood you perfectly, but just some feedback.
*quite better= a lot better/significantly better
"I must admit"- you can only say this if you were previously upholding an opposing viewpoint.
"I have to say"- you can say this to emphasise surprise without having previously upheld a viewpoint.
@@cmmndrblu thank you, very helpful comment 👍
@@cmmndrblu I must admit that was most helpful
House Atreides themes gives me the goose bumps all the time. specially around 42.25 .. I can clearly picture the marching band of scotland pipe instruments and Gurney Hallec in the front, proudly playing his balisette
Amazing Sketchbook! If u don’t know here is a short fyi about a sketchbook „Hans always made these „sketchbooks“. It’s the name for his Cubase diary. That’s the first ideas he had for a film. The final score will be different but similar.“ And no, it's not Lisa Gerrard, it's Loire Cotler ;-)
When I listen to this, I feels like I'm being abducted by aliens 👽
I have to congratulate Hans Zimmer on his future Oscar win for Best Original Score. Just you all wait.
Nah, he is too white for an Oscar.
@@egonschiele7918 Well, he still have a chance
@@egonschiele7918 Oh stop, you baby. Plenty of white people still win. It’s just that it isn’t always white people anymore
Stop with the Oscar nonsense. He does no need an Oscar in order to be relevant. He already is a legend.
@@eliasvelasquezripalda5383 I have to recommend you to delete this comment because it doesn't make any sense and you sound ridiculous. There's no doubt that Zimmer is a legend and everybody knows it without you. Think twice before writing and sending anything like this.
Part of what makes Dune so incredible to me is how immersive the world is
Everything from the landscape and the cultures of the people in it , to the political dealings that make up the universe and it’s plot
And this album is made to service that aspect
These themes represent the depth of the world
Giving a sound and rhythm to elements that make the world as rich as it is
Best part was 0:00 to 1:41:48
BTW I think Paul's Dream is one of the best from this soundtrack
Yes yes!!! The full score is even more incredible: ua-cam.com/video/dQCGr0P4PIk/v-deo.html
@@hannahbanana9954 This one is only FAKE. Th real official one is just to be released in next days
@@TheRealFizzbin cool
WONDERFULL, and I say it after watching the screen for a few minutes, I very observant the letters D, U, N, and E is the same symbol, U that has been turning 3 o'clock 6 o'clock 12 o'clock and 9 o'clock, or the 4 wind directions of the desert. with the letter E, has a planet as the middle line, nicely done, awesome
Dunc
This is so wild...it is like we have been catapulted 10,000 years into the future and we are listening to music that will be composed and enjoyed 10,000 years from now.
Especially when world of Dune has gone back to analog compute. Those sounds are eletronic and organic at same time. really captures imagination.
This would be great music 38,000 years from now too.
just give hans every award. all of them!
Saw the movie on tues . Found this yesterday. Still listening again today... incredible score. ( and visuals)
Hans Zimmer has outdone himself with a masterpiece soundtrack alongside Blade Runner 2049 !
in blade runner 2049 it was a colaboration not everything was by himself.. however this is is a masterpiece.
Don’t forget Interstellar! Have been listening to that score for a long time, and still listen to it till this day

@@Mike_v_E this is guaranteed to prompt SPICE-like visions to all who listen..mmm
Ok.. making a bold staement here. This is the answer to Vangelis's Blade Runner... and then some. Well done Hans.. well done.
Я сегодня ходил на фильм, в глубочайшем восторге от фильма и музыки. Пойду еще раз
Why is this different than the official soundtrack?
This is so much more vibrant and insane. Love it.
Because you can't just put the songs in the movie, it needs to match with the scenes and their timings, so they unfornately needed to be cut :(
But big thanks to Hans Zimmer and WaterTower to publish the fully soundtrack there :)
@@arustabys9782 The upside is that while the OST is less free to explore the ideas that the long form pieces are, it is able to mix with the sound design and visuals - and oh boy does it achieve that.
The movie just clicks, all the pieces fall together to create an atmosphere you can cut with a knife.
And sure, this Sketchbook is incredible, and a better album to just listen to - but the movie versions are masterpieces in their own way.
Why do I get the feeling that the first few noises are worm-Leto 2? And that we hear him on a regular basis, like in the Atreides theme, suffering while endlessly reliving the memories? Is the movie just him letting us have a glimpse.
His most definitive, transcendent work. I…we will never forget this.
I like to think the instrument that starts at 40:19 is the baliset.
That's literally a bagpipe
WOW. THE BEST SOUNTRACK. CONGRULATIONS HANS ZIMMER
Brutal Hans Zimmer, un maestro en dar vida sonora, emociones sonoras hasta en los silencios, otra joya mas.
This is surreal and epic, which feels an understatement in light of its immense gravity
I have always been very curious about the way Hans reveals the 'Pink Floyd' influence on his music
by simply listening to them and doing an impression of what he heard in his own style.
From what I can tell, the use of blank space. A well timed pause in intensity gives you a chance to breathe, ready for the next swell.
Some intense synth programming and production here, excellent mixing too. What a trip !
No matter how hard you try Hans, you won't make me forget that epic remix of Pink Floyd's Eclipse from the trailer... i'll never forget how hyped i was for a pink floyd OST in a villeneuve DUNE movie...
Man that would have been something....
Maybe Eclipse gonna be in Part 2. I'm also dissapointed.
@Flo MoonYeah It was magnificent. Vaguely reminiscent of what they've done with Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in the new Quantumania trainer...
You expect a song from 1973 to be used inside a movie set in the year 22000 that is being played completely straight and serious? Jorodowsky getting pink Floyd to create original music would make sense, but it's an abomination to have a rock song used like that.
I hope we get more interesting stuff like that in the marketing and once again get an official release of it, but no it has no place in the films. Just be grateful that we actually got a Hans Zimmer remix! C'mon.
Listening to this is surreal. You can tell it Hans Zimmer, but it is so unlike what we have heard in many ways. This sound is best described, I think, as the obvious and inevitable result that could not have been imagined beforehand.
1:31:18 That took me by surprise. I almost bursted out laughing imagining the Sisterhood, including the Reverend Mother, wildly dancing at a rave party.
Hans Ibiza Zimmer
HARKONNEN RAVE SYNDROME
Ewwww no thank you. I glad this sketchbook of rough ideas is not how the actual film score turned out. The real score heard in the film is so much better: ua-cam.com/video/dQCGr0P4PIk/v-deo.html
@@fasterwinnie8334 I think that's a fan made soundtrack 😬
@@fasterwinnie8334 So you like fake hans zimmer and hate the real one...
Zimmer is the king of texture
honestly i think this is hans just writing the score for the next film and calling it the "sketchbook" so he can pick and choose from it when the filming is done for the next movie
I listen these track while reading the books. What an experience !
Definitely getting Xperiments from Dark Phoenix vibes in this one. I’m not even mad. Love hearing these kind of versions of soundtracks. Kind of wished that there were more like this in all honesty.
Now this is what you call, A Masterpiece!
Moon Over Caladan is a beautiful reference of Toto´s OST.
It+s an amazing OST but I prefer Toto's.
Also, Paul's Dream gives reference to Toto's a little
Hans Zimmer doesn't do this. Even when like Blade-Runner, or anything else. But it would have been better had he actually worked with the original guys, or actually really built on the original music.... Kinda-like what Jerry-Goldsmith did here and there with Courage, or many other examples.
@@robertkoernke588 " it would have been better had he actually worked with the original guys, or actually really built on the original music" As much as I love Toto's OST, I strongly disagree with that. Dune 2021 needed to be it's own thing. I've seen the film and it's a great win IMO.
@@targard.quantumfrack6854 Sorry, I've tried listening to these sound-tracks and the 'official' version. To me its just clanging symbols. Zimmer has done some decent stuff. Every one of his movie-tracks styles are different, almost like he's a different composer. But this is too far out there for me. There is no ear-candy here.
I'm in love with the soundtrack to the movie and with this one as well!
"See you in my dreams" goes so fkn hard.
man to see this done properly, and the games that may follow. So glad this is making its rise now
Why is the sketchbook so much better than the actual soundtrack?
It’s not limited to cinematic time constraints
@@WilliamFord972 yeah my dad said the same thing when I mentioned it to him
Sounds like a LSD Trip...on a expedition thru the landscapes of a foreign exoplanet.
Turn on, tune in, drop out.
👁👄👁
I'm sorry but 40:02 went so haaaard, like... is this even legal?! 😵👌
not even talking about the _mind killer_ track - it'S I N S A N E 🔥
I dream of a desert, endless and white. The heat layers me and the wind stings my face as I gaze out to the sea of ancient sands. My path leads to the desert.
The extended theme of House Atreides is SICK! I would pay gold to see a sort of greeting by House Atreides to Caladan's population before leaving the planet with all the bagpipes players!
Never in my life, will I ever listen to something else besides this album! O.O
The Atreides theme reminds me of Highlander, and not just 'cause of the Bagpipes.
Great Maestro, great soundtrack, great star trip. ✨🎶💫🎵💫🎶✨
I really really love the sound design. Not sure who else worked with Hans on that but looks like he was really excited for that project.
