1) The German rave band Dune. The band was founded in 1995 by Oliver Froning and Jens Oettrich, who are both big fans of the novels by Frank Herbert - hence the name Dune. Their first single "Hardcore Vibes" featured the voice of Oliver's then 11-year-old cousin Janine. Their second single "Are you ready to fly?" sounded quite different and already featured the typical Dune-style with high-pitched vocals and a catchy melody.
At the end of 1996 the band released the album "Forever" with a lot of tracks in a classical style - all tracks where performed together with the London Session Orchestra (see Dune & the London Session Orchestra). Lead singer Verena von Strenge left Dune after the release of "Forever" to start a solo career. Dune came back in April 1998 with a new lead singer (Vanessa Hörster). The single "Keep the Secret" was only a medium success and its successor "Electric Heaven" flopped completely.
In late 1999 Verena von Strenge came back as lead singer after her solo career was not as successful as she wanted it to be. The single "Dark Side of the Moon" was released and the album "Reunion" was produced and ready for release in May 2000. However the album was never released due to a court order that stopped the single "Heaven".
The latest single released was "Rainbow To The Stars 2003", a rework of their 1996 classic. It was released on 23 June 2003.
2) A Finnish demoscene tracker musician who adopted the more unique name Brothomstates in the latter half of the 1990s and was later signed to Warp Records.
3) Dune was also an Alias used by Drum & Bass Dj/Artist Ray Keith in the early 1990s.
4) An Indiana-based musician who recorded an album called "Road of Life" in 2000.
5) An Australian power/progressive metal band that is now disbanded. The band only recorded a demo called The Eleventh Hour.
8)Duo made of Laurent Garnier and Pascal F.E.O.S. (Pascal Dardoufas). Released one EP: The Alliance EP: Trance, Ambient style electronic.
9) Four friends from Athens, Ohio, finally came together to form DUNE in 2011. Influenced by their favorite acts (Sabbath, Kyuss, QOTSA, Sword, Truckfighters), DUNE's brand of stoner metal has various undertones--everything from soul to thrash. You can find them on Bandcamp.
10) The progressive sludge/stoner metal Dune formed in recent years in Edinburgh, Scotland. They recently released their first EP entitled 'Progenitor'. You can find them on bandcamp here:

Against All Odds
Dune Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you
You're the only one who really knew me at all
how can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave
Cause we shared the laughter and the pain
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now.
Well there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Well take a look at me now
Well there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that's what I've got to face.
I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
Well there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
Well take a look at me now
Well there's just an empty space
But to wait for you is all I can do
And that's what I've got to face
Now take a look at me now
I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
Its the chance I've got to take
Take a look at me now
Take a look at me now
The song Against All Odds is a heart-wrenching ballad about a lost love, where the singer is struggling to accept or let go of the relationship. The opening lines raise the question of how one can let go of someone who knows them better than anyone else. The singer feels as if their world is falling apart when their lover decides to leave, leaving behind a void that cannot be fulfilled by anyone else. As the singer watches the lover walk away, they are left with nothing but memories of the time spent together.
The chorus, "So take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space and there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face," speaks to the emptiness and pain left behind by the lover's departure. The singer is willing to wait for their lover's return, no matter how small the chances of it happening may be, as it represents their only hope for happiness. The closing lines of the song, "I'll still be standing here, and you coming back to me is against all odds, it's the chance I've got to take," show the singer's determination to leave the past behind and move on.
Overall, Against All Odds is a beautifully tragic song about the pain of love, loss and hope. It portrays the complexity of relationships, and how one can be left with nothing but memories to cherish.

Dune covers much songs and most of them are even more beautiful than the original one! Like Nothing compares from Sinead 'o Connor... Verena does it so much better on that one! Only this one from Phil Collins shouldn't be covered.. Although Verena has the most beautiful voice of the world, this song belongs to Phil. But still. I love Dune forever! :-D
