Dune is an original soundtrack album for the 1984 film Dune. Most of the album was composed by the popular rock band Toto — their first and only film score — but one track was contributed by Brian Eno. The soundtrack album was first released in December 1984. An extended version with an altered track listing was released in 1997. Both versions are currently out of print. The instrumental soundtrack was recorded by the band (minus lead singer Bobby Kimball), accompanied by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra and the Vienna Volksoper Choir, conducted by Marty Paich, father of Toto keyboardist David Paich. “Prophecy Theme” was composed for the movie by Brian Eno, who is rumored to have written and composed an entire earlier Dune soundtrack, although only “Prophecy Theme” and some incidental background music survived in the final film version.
