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:

The Last Dinosaur In Congo
Dune Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I'm in here, and they're out there
Sure you wanna know it? Sure you wanna go there?
If I knew you, if I knew her (Go)
I have made it
I can't face it
I am in there
Why am I afraid to die?
When I see them, suffering (Go)
Be there, I'm too young now
I am on the run, where are we going to?
Hold on, I will be there soon
Bet they need you now, before you loose control
Beat them, as they treat me now
You are beating, up the wrong guy now
Told you, I swore an oath
I am the last dinosaur in congo
We are in there
You are out here
They should face me
When they break me
We are in there
You are out here
I am the last
(1, 2, Go)
Beat them, as they treat me now
You are beating up the wrong guy now
Beat them, as they treat me now
You are beating up the wrong guy now
Beat them, as they treat me now
You are beating up the wrong guy now
Beat them, as they treat me now
You are beating up the wrong guy now
The song "The Last Dinosaur In Congo" by Dúné is a powerful and emotional anthem that speaks to the struggles of feeling like you are the last one left, fighting against an adversary that seems unbeatable. The opening lines, "Ignore them, conceal them, 'cause I'm in here, and they're out there" create a feeling of isolation and fear, as though the singer is trapped inside their own mind, fighting against their own demons. They seem to be asking the listener if they are truly ready to face the same challenges and fears they are experiencing, asking "sure you wanna know it? Sure you wanna go there?"
Throughout the song, the singer grapples with their own mortality, wondering "why am I afraid to die?" while also recognizing the pain and suffering of those around them, asking "when I see them, suffering, go," as though urging listeners to take action and fight against the injustices they see in the world. The repeated lines "Beat them, as they treat me now / You are beating up the wrong guy now" suggest that the singer is ready to fight back, even when it seems like they are outnumbered and outmatched.
Overall, "The Last Dinosaur In Congo" is a powerful, thought-provoking song that speaks to the human experience of feeling alone in a difficult world, and the importance of standing up for what you believe in, even when the odds seem insurmountable.
