The flute on this track deserves a mention. In its final part, starting after the intense drum solo I can see even the connection with Mahavishnu. Herbert's novel ends with side A. The B-side contains "Bitonio" and the title track. The first of the two is a sort of "classic Zeuhl", if anything like this exists. I'm often impressed by the fact that music apparently disconnected is totally orchestrated and what appears improvised is "written" instead. The apparent chaos of the second half of Bitonio shows what I mean.
The title track opens dreamy with the guitar strings played out of the board or are they grandpiano strings? We are quickly hypnotized by the repetition, mainly thank to the high notes played by, I think, the bassist. It's a drum roll that transforms everything into rock. The demos on the CD re-release are a curiosity, even though there are different parts respect to the "official" versions, like there have been "cuts" at the t ime of the original release.
Of those, the most interesting is obviously the one which is not just a "re-release". I don't see how it can have connection with the story, as the Fremens were a people of warriors and the music is quite relaxed, instead. However is another very good track which evolves in a sort of dark suite with a contemporary classic feeling on which the flute is the foreground instrument.
I see this album as an incomplete work so I don't rate it as a masterpiece, but it's surely an excellent addition to any "Zeuhl" or "RIO" collection. Give it a try. They eventually changed their name to Dune but ultimately settled for DUN, which was inspired by the novel "Dune" by Frank Herbert but you would never be able to figure that out solely by listening to this music. It does, however, have an other-worldliness sound to it.
They almost became part of the Rock In Opposition lineup of bands in Europe but due to technicalities and self professed laziness failed to do so. This album really should be totally unknown considering all the obstacles stacked against it, but because of the superb outcome of musicianship and dedication to re-releasing it, it has taken on many new lives of its own.
I know for sure that I never would have known of this album if not for the dedication of reviving it throughout the decades.
This is one of those touched-by-God albums where the lofty ambitions actually resulted in a desired outcome. They seamlessly combine the influences of Magma, Zappa, Henry Cow, Mahavishnu Orchestra and add their own fluffy touch of prog interpretation and create a bona fide masterpiece. This is one of the few albums in all existence that I find lives up to its title which in this case is EROS. For me this interesting and unique album truly creates musical ecstasy which despite my admiration for many a genre rarely guarantees such results.
In the case of DUN I find myself feeling like a touch of heaven has finally projected itself into this realm of constant devolution and this coming from one of the least progressive years of , it is a sign from somewhere that spectacular music can occur in the most unlikely of places and times.
I have the remastered edition by Soleil Zeuhl and although I NEVER rate albums with the bonus tracks in the mix, I have to say that I would give the bonus tracks on this release a 5 star rating alone if they were to find themselves on an independent release. Although four of them are alternative versions and only one is an unreleased track, they are truly excellent and worth the price of admission alone.
Two years later they were renamed to Kan-Daar, trying to escape from the Magma, Mahavishnu Orchestra and Frank Zappa covers, composing original material. They never actually searched for a proper distributor and the album was pressed in around copies in , sold at concerts. The music contains elements from R.
Excellent use of dominant and haunting piano lines next to sharp synth moves, beautiful and virtuosic flute parts by Pascal Vandenbulcke, a fiery, jazzy rhythm section and an excellent rhythm guitarist, which accompanies the chaos of powerful interplays. But then again there are some more ''symphonic'' and laid-back tunes with flute and synthesizer leading the way along with MAGMA's throbbing, operatic musicianship.
Vandenbulcke and pianist Bruno Sabathe are also the reasons why this album should be strongly linked to R. You should listen to these parts, when all members torture their instruments at the same time and the very next moment the music becomes calm and smooth with light jazzy and Classical colors.
And this material seems actually to go somewhere despite the overall very complex sound, the tracks are great full of spot-on battles and rhythm changes. One of the best of the style and among the highlights of the year. Highly recommended. What a shame that they didn't give us more of their refreshing and sparkling take on this style of music. Zeuhl is sometimes defined as being oppressive or sinister, which this music certainly is not. It is really exuberant stuff, rather more light-hearted than Magma.
A generous swirl of flute and tuned percussion ripples through the music, giving it an airy texture. It's fast-paced, too. The ideas speed by, hopscotching from one snippet to the next rather than fixating on endless repetitions. That's not to say that it feels annoyingly episodic or choppy - but it certainly doesn't fall into the 'ever-mounting epic' category of Zeuhl. But it's Zeuhl for sure. Twitchily-precocious rhythms alternate with more straightforward time signatures.
There's intelligent, responsive, semi-jazzy drumming, and a sense of the music being 'pushed from the back' rather than 'led from the front' i. Also, of course, there's that outta-this-world touch: the album and the band's name was apparently inspired by Frank Herbert's 'Dune' SF novels. Probably not significant, but a cute coincidence for besotted Magma nuts anyway!
The first piece on the album, 'L'Epice', has that leaping-from-one-lily-pad-to-the-next feel referred to earlier. It's over 9 minutes long, but you'd never guess that if you weren't watching the counter on your stereo. It's quick, dramatic and punchy, and zips past like an insect in a hurry.
The playing is both disciplined and vibrantly enthusiastic. From the gentle, resonant opening chords on piano and synth, soon joined by melting flute and guitar, to the climax, all frothy tuned percussion and effervescent drums, it's fun, beautiful and energetic.
After a gentle piano and flute interlude, the bass rasps rudely back into life and a tight, tense section flares into being. Again, mood swing after mood swing buffets the ensemble from one direction to the next, without the flightiness becoming irritating or making the music feel rootless.
There's an eerie section in which the flute and synths make sounds like a rainforest at dusk - reminiscent of exotic birds and insects and monkeys, cooing, chirping and howling. A spot of enthusiastic yelling of the title can only add to the cheerful briskness of the closing minutes. The piece falls away into the same misty reflections with which it began.
If the four original album tracks aren't enough for you, there are also four bonus tracks on the CD. Three are early alternate versions of 'Bitonio', 'Arrakis' and 'Eros', and the fourth is the almost Medieval-sounding 'Acoustic Fremen', which was apparently something the band used to play live. The alternate versions are interesting enough, but not quite as 'together' as the final versions.
As a result, the bonus tracks aren't as successful to my ears as the official album tracks. The precision of the album versions seems submerged somehow, missing the authoritative grammar-and-punctuation of the percussion.
There's a joyful, flamboyant feel to this music: it's got a confident certitude about it - no hesitation, no apology. The compulsory Zeuhl hallmark of 'whole band unity' doesn't prevent each band member getting his moment in the spotlight, but we aren't forced to sit through a relay race of witless soloing.
I suppose the quick-change aspect helps on that front. This album is held in high esteem by many music lovers. As I write this, 'Eros' is apparently the fiftieth most popular album on this site, which is saying a lot for a one-album obscurity! But the quality really does shine through.
It's complex without being tricksy, varied without being unfocused, disciplined without being overly slick, and idiosyncratic without being weirder-than-thou. Miss M. I am a Zeuhl newbie.
I only own one Magma album and this one by Dun. The Magma album is interesting and I am still not sure if I like it or not. But, I really like this album. It is complex instrumental prog except for the odd Ha Ha Ha! Anyways, if you tried Magma and decided that you didn't like Zeuhl, so you are avoiding this album. I would advise you to give this one a shot. Not quite a masterpiece, but close! Doug L. This album quickly made it into my top 30 all time favorite. Zheul with a small hint of Zappa can only be good!
With magnificent xylophone playing, extraordinary drumming, very powerful rhythms and sublime melodies. The first song is one of the most powerful album opening I ever heard, and this insanity follows you for the length of the album.
This album really needs to be released again on CD, as it's near impossible to find. Recommended greatly for everyone enjoying prog, as it's not a hard listen.
