I first heard Dune while visiting Germany in 1997 and was blown away. I finally purchased this CD about 2 months ago and must say that it is probably one of my favorite CDs of all time. I reccomend it to anyone who enjoys techno or any other kind of music for that matter. I just wish their other albums were as easy to find!

The way Dune puts together sounds of distorted kick drums, pitched up singing, and a 303 as well as many other synth instruments is beautiful. The ever changing melodies suprise you and keep you nodding your head to the ever present beat. European (German in this case) Techno and Rave music is leaps ahead of America's techno in creativity, style and popularity, that is most definitely where it's at with the techno scene.

of the books that is, I found this cd enjoyable yet it left me feeling a bit "used". For me the name Dune is almost sacred and when this band first released their album I bought it. I loved it, but it's not an instant classic. Unfortunatly this is one of those cd's you buy and love for a short while only to end up on the bottom of your cd-pile in a matter of months if not weeks.

Some songs like "Are You Ready To Fly" and "Can't Stop Raving" are burned in my memory, but where these songs were fun when I first heard them they are now more an itch you can't get rid of.

Buy it if you're starting to get into the music style.

I bought this awesome CD and I was again surprised even though I knew this group already.I am giving it five stars and I recommend it to everyone who is a raver!

... This is a great enough album... with its dominantly instrumental ballads showing off Oliver Froning's true talents as a writer. I still prefer the later songs with Verena Von Strenge, but believe me, this is an excellent album to have. The first and last pure techno album by Dune. Get this album and Im sure you will be the only person you know who does, cuz it is ...rare

This cd offers a wide variety of break beats and is a must for those who, must have the latest and greatest in techno and Dance

atreides01, even though they "made a mistake" in the listing, keep the cd. this is a hard to find import and one of the best techno artists out there!

I'm confused, in the tittle it says that is a soundtrack but in fact, the track listing belongs to a album called dune from atists of the same name and there are germans. Please before y buy it i like to know if it's the soundtrack of the picture or the german group.

When I think of Dune I usually think of "Happy Hardcore." This CD, though is more straight hardcore before Dune got happy. So if you're looking for something that's fast, minimalist, and dark this CD is for you. Some pure old skool hardcore! =)
Peace,

This is Dune's first album and was released before they became quite as chart-friendly as they ended up. It's a great example of German techno music and includes the excellent "Hardcore Vibes," which is probably the best track they ever did. The album is quite long and ambles along very nicely. It's just about light enough to be good background music but with enough melodies and high-pitched vocal samples to keep the average raver happy. Apart from "Hardcore Vibes," I would also recommend the gloriously cheesy "Are You Ready to Fly" and the trancey "...In The End." Overall, it's an excellent addition to your CD collection if you're a fan of German techno music.
