Good stuff. Love the tie to Dune canon.
The description was awesome, but “the God Emperor determined that only 4 displayed the depth of talent and mental adaptability to become Musical Mentats” and “nameless musical geniuses” is a little over the top.

Bought it. I may only listen once, but this level of dedication to both elements of the source material should be rewarded!

We already know what Tangerine Dream would have sounded like doing a soundtrack to Dune:
Now we need, I dunno, Faust maybe? Popol Vuh could definitely make one.

It’s listenable and enjoyable, but it ain’t Kraftwerk.

So what happens when you get Wormsign? Do they all dance in a chorus line?

It’s amazing the impact Frank Herbert has had on popular conciousness.

Now this is what I call a mostly wonderful thing.
+1. Whoever did this doesn’t really “get” Kraftwerk.
And those guys too!
