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.

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"

six months pass...
from http://www.thedigitalbits.com/

"Oh man... have we got some GREAT news for you Dune fans today! We've done some digging with our sources at Universal, and we've learned the real reason behind their delay of the Dune: Extended Edition (previously announced for 5/10, but then pulled "indefinitely" with no explanation given). Those of you who are familiar with the film know that there's a longer version that's been shown on TV, credited to director Alan Smithee (a pseudonym used by directors when they want to distance themselves from a project for whatever reason). Well get this... after years of saying he would never revisit Dune, at the 11th hour director David Lynch apparently decided that he might want to be involved in the new DVD after all. Which means that when it's eventually released, not only is the DVD going to include the original theatrical version of the film... it may also include a brand new "director's extended cut" edited by Lynch himself. No kidding. [Editor's Note - we've been told by studio sources that this isn't a done deal. It IS why the disc was delayed, but Lynch's involvement is still in discussion and no work has been started yet. So cross your fingers and let's hope it comes to fruition.]"

YAY!

I've rented the TV version and it's not very good. Quality was sub-par on the DVD, and the extra scenes are great but not integrated very well. Also, endless reuse of effects shots.

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.
