The Music of Video Games [255] Dune

[yugimoto2005]

i had this on PC ..such awesome memories. i sort of blame it for turning me into a weirdo . but wow.. i finished this many times and took real joy in the story

[jeromebressoud]

It seems that this doesn't include this theme (@3;08;36) : /watch?v=L3NcFEvc4yk#t=11316s

Do you know where I can find the full song ?

Thx

[mocthezuma]

I'm tempted to say that this is the most overlooked videogame in terms of soundtrack. Not to mention the game on its own. A fantastic game in every aspect. But the music is really stunning and it sets the atmosphere really well. All I need is to hear those tablas and I'm on Dune. I really really really really really loved my childhood and I have things like Dune to thank for it. And you to thank for letting me relive it. :)

[andersdenkend]

I LOVE Dune's music!

[philipsuper]

those animations of the cd version worked fine for me even over network with lantastic in my 286 time. wonderfull game with wonderfull adlib / midi music !

[bolawarrior]

how awfull is it that i have to scroll all the way down when i search for dune music to find this masterpiece....

by far one of the best nostalgic music games in the world. together with jazz jackrabbit.

[dzquetzalcoatl]

Thank you :)

[bolawarrior]

Freyd harkonnen looks like my uncle ;p

[Asterix5750]

mah studios of the best games in history all went bust :(

Virgin, Westwood studios and Bluebyte

[slomodove]

This brings back so many awesome memories of being eleven years old and sneaking out of bed after my parents had gone to sleep to play this game. Thanks for uploading it!

[TerrorBlack]

Also, how could you neglect to include Sekence, my favorite track from this great soundtrack? >:(

[TerrorBlack]

8:00 AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHH

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

AHHHHHH

...What did you do to his hair?

[jogu78]

i had this for sega cd back in the day , stayed up till like 6 am durin the summer to play this all nite and when i looked out my window the sky was deep blue , the sun not up yet but just enough to turn the black purple nite sky into cobalt . i took a few mins to stretch in bed and was listenin to the music from this game playin as my orni just sat there in the desert and i wondered if there any planets like dune somewhere out there

[matgomeznumon]

One of the best game ever! I played this as a young teen and i remember being so afraid of going into the desert... that skull animation still haunt me today

[thejobloshow]

No way... is that Virgina Madsen?

[deuone]

it's funny, i've tried modernizing the soundtrack for this game many times, and it never sounds as good as the original, the synthetic sounds just fit so well to the whole dune theme in my opinion. If someone say this soundtrack is outdated i will strongly disagree.

[shatteredgear]

i prefer the sega cd version music lol

[heikkint]

Dont bother with the real Spice Opera soundtrack. it contains tracks that arent worth it. Ecolove, chani's theme are up to par with the game soundtrack or slightly better. Rest is sub-par.

[DoominPL]

@heikkint I agree, music from the game is more special and i would even say that it's lyrical :)

The Spice Opera makes this original melodies almost trivial - there is cheap climat of 80s disco or some Harlequin-like ost. Not worth listening, beats reminds me my neighbours' fathers synthezator-band in early 90s xD

[heikkint]

Yup. Couldnt have found better words myself to describe this. Spice Opera is from 1992. Come on people, tubular bells and vangelis is not the hot kid in the streets anymore. Afraid it has not taken time lightly.... However this game tune still rocks!. All kudos to Stephan for the original work though.

[KurosawaKambei]

I remember playing this when i was 6 year old. One of the most fascinating games ever, with one of the best soundtracks. Thanks for sharing this :)

[thedjnk]

This amazing music is available on the Spice Opera album that I believe he released. It has higher quality tracks that the game and the 2nd song has "Spice Opera" said over it too, a very worthwhile OST!

[tfal23]

The song from 07:23 til the end - I have been after this amazing song for years!!!! What is it called and where can I (ahem) find it?? Thanks for this video!!

[heikkint]

Apples and pears maybe but this is the best Dune game ever. gives the shivers even today. OST is fabulous.

[amenzix]

I've beaten this game recently. It's just incredible.

[zaceron]

so many cool sound tracks, this collection is beyond awesome, great job

[johneh2]

Hey Garudoh, just wanted to sincerely thank you because if it weren't for your amazing play lists, i would never have even heard of such great music, especially this one!!! Stéphane Picq is absolutely amazing! Never played this game, but wow, this music really takes you somewhere else. I am extremely happy that you have this on your play list, and that your play list even exists!

[garudoh]

Hey man, thanks for the message. I always like to see people enjoying my stuff, but making them discover something new is the proverbial cherry on top.

Stephane has such a great, distinct sound to his work, I only wish there was more of it out there. If you really like this entry, I recommend you check out the one I did for MegaRace. It's also by Stephane, somewhere in the 290's (291 I think?).

As for this game, it's one of my favorite PC soundtracks ever. Chani's Eyes is straight up godly.

[arturus2260]

@johneh2

Here, here. Awesome work Garudoh :)

[N4ll1fy]

@johneh2

Now imagine being 8 years old with a wild imagination. This game has always blown my mind, and the music is still my favorite music even now. But yeah you posted this 2 years ago so I don't expect a reply. :P

[WabbitCrouton]

Ahhh! The nostalgia! This game was first released on floppy disks, shortly it was released as one of the first pc games on cd-rom with a beautiful bonus soundtrack cd. Thank you for putting this on YT!

[ArMANRazoR]

Excelent music. But I don't know it's name.

[nutherefurlong]

The tallented Stephane Picq wrote it, if that helps.

[mavedidannaff]

Best OST for a video game EVER!

[Pj0tter]

Wow, how many times did I fly the Ornichopper just sightseeing and listening to the fantastic music.

[Tors1083]

omg a very awesome intense feeling came over me,

when i heared that again.

good old times

[flexlex12]

never played the game in the old days. but did try it out a couple of years later and loved the music... so and here it is again :D freaking awesome the music

[Quibey]

Thank you very much for this video O_O !!

[pyramidhead138]

ive only played the NES version

[garudoh]

You're probably thinking of something else, because this game never came out on NES.

[4Love10]

love it

[DiegoSynth]

EXCELENT!!! Excelent game as well as DuneII. One of the best PC games!

Great video, specially for having "Chanis eyes" as the last track :)

Thanks!!!

[nimagraven]

The music to this game was nothing short of stunning. A complete master piece!

[MonoAzul]

I like this music and the speech clips a lot. The next piece of music I make will probably sample that bit at the end.

[MonoAzul]

Anyone know where I can get a higher-quality copy of that speech sample at the end? I'm working on a audio collage using video game sounds and other stuff, and that clip would be perfect for it.

[deskawa]

Chani's theme (7:30) is so wonderful. 5 stars.

[lancil9]

What version is?

[garudoh]

The video footage is from the CD version re-release.

[garudoh]

"The sleeper must awaken..."

One of my personal favorites. I just fucking love Dune, whatever medium it is. Books, movies, games, all of them have stayed with me for a long, long time.

[Gatekeeper6561]

The book is brilliant. This game is brilliant. A shame that most people think you are talking about Dune II when you mention the game. Nothing wrong with the RTSs of course, but they are nothing compared to this.
