This is the last album written by Klaus Schulze, who sadly passed away on the 26th of April 2022 at the age of 74. His discography is vast (with over 50 albums), but this one is particularly special since it’s the album he composed immediately after the soundtrack for Dune 2021. The ex-drummer of Tangerine Dream released an album in 1979 called Dune, which was made to accompany a (scrapped) adaptation project of Frank Herbert’s novel. Unfortunately, it was the band Toto that eventually ended up composing the soundtrack of Lynch’s 1984 film adaptation. Three decades later, the announcement of Denis Villeneuve’s remake brought Schulze’s attention back to the original books. Schulze was a huge fan of these books; in his 1978 album, X, he even named a track Frank Herbert. Years later, Hans Zimmer was charged with producing the soundtrack for the 2021 remake, and he decided to call Schulze to ask if he would want to collaborate on it, finally bringing everything full circle.
Back home, Schulze was thrilled to be involved with such a project. He came across a cello recording by his friend Wolfgang Tiepold, who played on his 1979 Dune album. Schulze says that this recording unleashed his creativity, sending him on what he describes as a “private journey” to the planet Dune. The German composer delivers 16 tracks around three themes, Osiris, Seth and Der Hauch des Lebens (The Breath of Life in English), creating 1 hour and 15 minutes of top-quality Krautrock. “At the end of that second private ‘Dune‘ journey I realized: ‘Deus Arrakis‘ became another salute to Frank Herbert and to that great gift of life in general.” Not a bad epitaph at all… © Smaël Bouaici/Qobuz
