Notes
Reissue. Grammy award winning band Toto, tasked with composing the soundtrack for the 1984 film; Dune. Accompanied by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra and a haunting single from Brian Eno ("Prophecy Theme"), they managed to inject Dune with the barren majesty it deserves. Toto, known for a musical style that combines elements of pop, rock, soul, funk, blues and jazz, can comfortably add ambient to their repertoire after creating a perfect synthesis of orchestral and synthesizer music. There is a beautiful calm flowing feel throughout, with a splash of psychedelic ("Paul Takes the Water of Life"), and the occasional dramatic part ("First Attack") to create some diversity from the satisfying darkness. This album can be called a true sci-fi cult classic.
