lauren there are no hobbits in dune

― kyle (akmonday), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 18:48 (twenty-one years ago)

i have seen DUNE and the BEASTMASTER over a dozen times each. THIS IS WHAT I GET FOR HAVING 2 OLDER BROTHERS NAMED LARRY AND JERRY.

― Carey (Carey), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 18:56 (twenty-one years ago)

OH, AND I GET KRULL AND DUNE MIXED UP ALL THE TIME ANYWAY. They might as well have both had ferrets saving marc (k) singer from quicksand anyway.

― Carey (Carey), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 18:57 (twenty-one years ago)

KRULL IS OK IF ONLY FOR TEH RAD CYCLOPSE. AND WHEN THEM WIZARDS EYES GO BLACK.

Helen: "Many have tried"
David: "They tried and failed?"
Helen: "They tried and died."

I got a lot of mileage out of this quote freshman year.

shai hulud is obv all about the dune samples. "heat upon heat upon heat!"
that long version of dune is pretty sweet. the intro by irulan is like an hour long. word around the camp fire is that d. lynch hated the edited version so much he wouldnt put his name on it.

― Holly (an appletross), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 20:10 (twenty-one years ago)

some friends' band (am I namedropping if I don't say their names and they're not famous anyway?) recorded an entire album about Dune.

eon "void dweller" samples "he who controls the spice controls the universe"

― cutty (mcutt), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 20:13 (twenty-one years ago)

With a slew of smart, groundbreaking hardcore techno singles under his belt, all Eon had to do to top it all was release a killer album. On Void Dweller, as with his other work done with the close involvement of Depth Charge's J. Saul Kane, he does just that, with a fairly consistent picture of dance as combination crowd-pleaser and sonic creepout. The odd thing is that the opening track, "A Kind of Living (Green Icing Mix)," is a much more gently jaunty number than most of what else he had done -- a quick check of the credits shows why, though, as Baby Ford provides the mixing help here instead. With that as an almost deceptive start -- there's still something in the bass lines that suggests Eon's more explicit nervous tension -- Void Dweller wends its way through a fine set of early-'90s dance material. Nothing quite forecasts the next big shift in electronic music, the rise of jungle/drum and bass rhythms, but as an aggressive picture of where some of the acid house aftershocks of the late '80s ended up, Void Dweller's great, full stop. The general pattern of appropriate weird and wigged samples from varying sci-fi sources -- Dune, Basket Case, The Outer Limits, and more -- holds true here, as does the generally bombastic-with-a-purpose slamming beat collage. "Spice," "Fear: The Mindkiller," and "Basket Case" itself all take pride of place with varying mixes -- indeed, "Basket Case" itself appears in both the "white coat" and an even more insane "black coat" mix. Plenty of treats surface throughout, though. There's the deep acid bass squelch that suddenly crops up on "Final Warning (Raucous Dub Mix)," the rumbling, ominous shuffle of "Electromagnetic Waves," and the relentless crunch and murky bass synths and distorted vocals of "Infinity" help make Void Dweller the great, head-exploding collection it is.

Lynch took his name off the TV version...ALAN SMYTHE or something.

A traitor.

I saw a CD by a band called Harkonan on Hydra Head...which could be ok?...maybe.

ID KILL TO BE IN A DUNE BAND. IVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR YEARS WITH MY FRIEND. STILLSUIT would be a rad name for a BAD hardcore band.

― ddb (ddb), Tuesday, 21 September 2004 20:17 (twenty-one years ago)

harkonen are not very good, in my opinion. Shai Hullud seems to be the best of the Dune bands but they don't really exist anymore. I bought that Harkonen and was seriously disappointed. I heard they were supposed to do a split with Shai Hulud but ended up not for whatever reason.

I don't know if you'd like it but here goes:

TRR11 Nero, "Dune Concept Album" CD
This CD contains one of the strangest ideas I've run across lately... an insane, angular, aggressive soundtrack for David Lynch's failed sci-fi beast of a movie, Dune. Trust me, though - as goofy as this sounds - this is a fantastic album. It takes more than human guts to dish out the beating that Louisville, KY's Nero gives the senses with the nearly 18-minute long improvisational album-closer, "Kwizzach Haderach." Within this track, dialogue samples from Dune are alternately buried and brought to the surface, while Nero relentlessly tweaks and hacks away at building a colossal, disturbing drone. It's absolutely maniacal - which is the best way to describe Nero. With guitars, bass, drums and vocals all armed with razors and needles, and a really scary stab at an oddball "concept album," Nero has designed an inspired piece of unforgettable mayhem.

Shai Hulud used to practice down the hall from us... HOLY LOUD....

there's a stillsuit out there somewhere in punkland...

used to have a copy of that dune techno back in the early 90s... it was pretty awful.

since i'm the only one with access to the PRL goods:
Gastr del Sol, "20 Songs Less" (A-side) (from the 20 Songs Less 7” on Teenbeat) – David Grubbs (Happy Cadavers, Squirrel Bait, Bastro) started Gastr in the wake of Bastro’s demise – with Bastro’s ex-members John McEntire and Bundy K. Brown! Their first LP was basically reworkings of songs from Bastro’s final live set, slowed down and given more space to breathe. This release, Dave’s first collaboration with Jim O’Rourke, is the first really “far out” thing he did, as it consists of acoustic guitar, tape manipulation and the sounds of a Chicago playground.

that's the plan as far as i know. haven't talked to our man in portland in a couple weeks since he's been in seattle (?) for work.

i can't really say too much more than that for certain yet. but we definitely want your blog around at the PRL if you do.

"word around the camp fire is that d. lynch hated the edited version so much he wouldnt put his name on it.

-- Holly (hollypric...), September 21st, 2004."

he hated the edited version (which dino de laurentiis cut a lot out of) but he hated the TV version even more, where they added back some footage but changed the intro and had this annoying narrator popping in throughout the whole thing (who wasn't the princess). the tv version pissed him off so much he had his screenplay credit switched to the name "judas booth"

if you're prescient how come you keep fucking up? more like golden shower than golden path amirite?

― the late great, Tuesday, 31 July 2012 05:19 (thirteen years ago)

He knows he's going to fuck up, fucking up is part of the path. That was always the downside of prescience - once you've seen it you have fixed it in place and have to live it. That's why Darwi Odrade tries not to use her Atreides prescience to sneak a peak in Chapterhouse.

I've just re-read all six. It was a bit of a slog in places and I think he wastes some interesting characters by jumping forward millennia at a time between books but overall I think it's a wonderfully imaginative series.

yeah the idea of mastering innate human potential as opposed to technological potential is i think the master stroke of the series

otm - Mentat calculation, Bene Gesserit awareness, Truthsaying, etc. plus all the heightened physical abilities are all things that one could maybe believe would be possible were the human body and brain to be pushed to their full potential.
