There are multiple artists by the name "Dune".
1) German rave band Dune.… Read Full Bio ↴There are multiple artists by the name "Dune".
1) German rave band Dune.
2) Finnish demoscene musician, now known as Brothomstates.
3) Alias for drum & bass DJ and artist Ray Keith.
4) An Indiana, U.S. based musician recording a single album.
5) An Australian power/progressive metal band.
6) Danish indie rock band Dúné
7) French band active in the 70s
8) Laurent Garnier, Pascal F.E.O.S.
9) Stoner Rock band from Ohio, USA
10) Scottish Progressive Sludge/Stoner metal group from Edinburgh.

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 Spice
Dune Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The Spice
Spice...
Spice!
Spice exists on only one planet (4x)

The planet is Arrakis, also known as Dune
Spice [Repeat: x 4]
Spice exists on only one planet [Repeat: x 2]

Dune

Spice, spice
Spice, spice, spice spice spice spice...

Spice exists on only one planet in the entire universe
The planet is Arrakis, also known as Dune

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dune's song "The Spice" are simple yet profound. The song repeatedly emphasizes the importance and rarity of the spice, which can only be found on one planet - Arrakis, also known as Dune. The repetition of the word "spice" along with the forceful chanting of its existence on only one planet emphasizes its significance and value to those who seek it.

The lyrics can also be interpreted metaphorically, where the spice represents a desire or an addiction that consumes someone's entire being. Something that is incredibly precious and once lost, may never be found again. This interpretation can be seen in the way the song repeats the word "spice" over and over again, almost like a mantra, enforcing the obsessive nature of the desire for the spice.

Overall, "The Spice" takes on a mythical quality, describing the rarity and transcendental value of the spice that only exists on one planet. The song's repetitive nature emphasizes the intense and all-consuming nature of the desire for it, whether it be the literal spice of Arrakis or something else that one may crave.

Line by Line Meaning

Spice...
The focus here is on the word 'spice', which is the subject of the song. It is an entity in its own right, something to be revered and looked upon with wonder.

Spice!
The exclamation point here further emphasizes the importance of the word 'spice', and the awe it inspires. This is not just any ordinary substance, but something special and vital.

Spice exists on only one planet (4x)
This line is straightforward in its meaning. It indicates that the substance known as 'spice' can only be found on one planet in the known universe, which is the desert world of Arrakis, also known as Dune.

Spice, spice
This is a repetition of the word 'spice', which serves to continue the emphasis already placed on it. The repetition also builds the sense of anticipation and wonder surrounding this substance.

Spice, spice, spice spice spice spice...
This line repeats the word 'spice' multiple times for increased emphasis. The pattern of repeating the word in this way is almost hypnotic, heightening the sense of reverence surrounding the substance.

Spice exists on only one planet in the entire universe
This line reiterates the earlier statement about the scarcity of 'spice' in the universe, further emphasizing its importance. It also suggests that obtaining this substance from Arrakis could potentially grant great power or advantage to those who possess it.

The planet is Arrakis, also known as Dune
This line simply provides the name of the planet on which 'spice' can be found. It serves to ground the song in a specific world and create a sense of place.

One little detail I just noticed, when the Ornithopters of lifting off with crew, you can hear them 'thumping' a lot harder than normal... it seems that the sound designers actually remembered that these things were taking off with near maximum weight, and that real world helicopters struggle to get airborne when at their max, thus resulting in a much more pronounced beat to the rotor sound. This movie is filled with such little details like this, and it shows that the people working on it gave it their all.

@ShaggyRogers1

2y↑57

@Ragna Rok The carry-all wasn't designed for that kind of extraction. It wasn't designed to be able to easily land on its own and take off unlike the Duke's ships. That is also besides the point that it wouldn't be able to fit the entire crew either. Why would the carry-all be designed to fit an extra 20 people inside when it is a heavy duty ship transport?

One detail I really like is how Gurney signals the dust cloud as a sign of danger, only to have Dr. Kynes state that it’s one of their own spice harvesters. Almost immediately, Gurney pulls back. On Caladan, the Atreides were masters of their world. But on Arrakis, they’re in uncharted territory, and will need all the help they can get. Desert power indeed.

@UnderseaPumaKing

1y↑32

It reminds me of what Tywin Lannister says in season 4 of GoT. "A wise king knows what he knows and what he doesn't. He listens to his advisors until he comes of age. The wisest kings continue to listen to them long afterwards." Gurney may not be a king but he is a wise man.

I cackled like a madman at 8:59 as the theater shook with Hans Zimmers magificent score, as the camera captures this impossibly wide maw.

2y↑7

@Infinity Yes I agree it would be a great scene, but thematically very jarring. I believe Liet dies as a member of the re-takeover Harkonnen court. Liet falls out of favor with them and is exiled into the desert. In Denis' adaptation, that would mean Liet dies in part two, yet the death is intimately connected to Paul/Jessica escape assistance. So now we're stuck with killing off an important supporting character connected to an event that happened last movie. Cinematically you have to somehow weave the disconnect together. Overall I think it's better Liet is killed in part One.

And sometimes less is fine. Sharon was great but there are already babyrage voices still fuming over the gender swap and early death. In part two we get to see more of Chani and the Fremen.

This scene was perfect. If you had read the book, you were excited because you knew exactly what was under that sand, even tho they weren’t showing it. And if you hadn’t read the book, it built up the suspense to find out so perfectly. Incredible movie. I can’t wait for the second one!!

Odd not of detail, i love how tactical the ornothopters controls look and feel. Very rugged and reliable. It would have been so easy to just throw up a bunch of holographic displays and have actors waving their hands around.

@stuartwesthall

2y↑38

And even better, if you look closely every button and switch is labelled in the Atreides language!

@Tojeaux_

2y↑52

The tactical ruggedness is actually built into the worldbuilding. Dune is a universe without complex computers due to an AI uprising, so technology needs to be able to operate with only low level chips, like 1950s-60s level electronic architecture, anything more complex has been banned to ensure something like the machine uprising can never happen again.

@sleepCircle

i am even more impressed by the fact that the ornithopters were real physical objects which were placed over sand beds, glowing in the real world sun, and rotated on mechanical gimbles to change the lighting and shadow in real time

@blusafe1

2y↑20

@Tojo I find it strange people keep equating the ban on thinking machines and no AI; to no advanced technology. Obviously Dune tech is extremely advanced - they have long-haul, rugged, tactical aircraft capable of both cargo, pax lift, and combat. Just because it doesn't "look" advanced to our current, popular sensibilities doesn't mean the technology isn't extremely complex and powerful.

@NATIK001

2y↑19

@blusafe1 That is true. Dune is full of technology far in advance of ours, some of it rivaling things from other high tech sci-fi franchises. Some of it even goes far beyond what almost any other sci-fi has. The advancements in psychology and biology in Dune are massively ahead of almost anything else.

What Dune also have however is a very unique branch of technology where the super-computers and super advanced processing capabilities in other sci-fi cannot be used, which gives Dune technology the appearance of low tech while actually being of a supremely high engineering standard.

Fun Fact at 8:03
The line "I recognize your footsteps Old Man" has a double meaning.

Not only does it callback to Paul's line of recognizing Gurney's footsteps and stride, but also the name of Sandworm, Shai-Hulud, translated means "Old Man of the Desert".

Denis knows his lore.

That's a big point in the book, Liet Kynes makes a mental note of the fact that the duke cares more for his men than the spice, completely opposite of what Harkonnens would have, the previous rulers of Arrakis. Liet then thinks to himself "I like this duke".

This is where Kynes is won to the loyalty of the Atreides. This is why Kynes betrays the Imperium in the end. Because she saw that the Atreides cared more about human beings than the Spice. This is what made her willing to defy the Emperor to protect Paul and Jessica.

There are a lot of motifs to insect in this universe.

With the Onithopters, the Spice Crawler looking like a beetle, the Black Spider Pet in Baron’s house, the Hunter Seeker looking like a mosquito, etc

Even from a purely pragmatic standpoint, Leto made the right decision. Without a working carryall, that harvester was lost. Better to salvage the crew than lose 21 experienced workers in a futile effort to retrieve spice that they could not have possibly transported away before the worm arrived.

A big part, besides the tones of their voices is how after "Whats going on?"

@Jack Burton Granted, without the book and only the first half of the story, a lot of the stuff that's going on goes past many people. Although i was surprised how many who didn't know the book picked up on a lot of stuff that i thought would elude those who didn't know it was there. There are single sentences is this movie that are easily overheard that add pages worth of exposition about the world, plot and philosophy of the movie.

I'm not trying to call you out or being preachy or something. It's everybodies inalienable right to like or dislike things and this movie doesn't exactly spell out everything thats going on. I just want to suggest that if you didn't find this movie statisfying, to wait until the second ons, before you write off Dune entirely. If you don't like it then in its entirety, nobody can argue with that, but you may never know what you are missing out if you would have enjoyed it. There is a reason Dune has an enormously dedicated cult following.
