"Spice Opera" has been remastered!

[Nyerguds]

In the chaotic time of the early 90s, Stéphane Picq signed a contract over the music he made for Cryo's Dune game (1992), which he didn't understand well because it wasn't in his native French language. After a few years, the people who owned the right no longer bothered to keep the album available for sale, and Stéphane caught on to the fact that he had signed away his rights on the music for thirty years years.

 

Well, those thirty years passed, and the rights finally returned to its creator. And now, a few years later, this legendary soundtrack CD, "Dune: Spice Opera", finally lives again:

I previously posted here when I acquired an original CD of this rare soundtrack. Stéphane Picq said on the Facebook group that there will be a physical release of this too, so I'm really looking forward to that.

Yeah, it's funny, I don't remember exactly what he changed from the Spice Opera version of the tracks, but I like these tracks way better than I liked the originals on the 1992 CD.

Unfortunately I think he used your Youtube upload of the Adlib Gold versions (from that reverse-engineering the original Dune game thread here way back when) as a reference when he was making his remastered versions, so even his remastered version of PC_ARRAKIS cuts off at 3 minutes instead of 5. In fact, he said he forgot he had written those last two minutes of the track 🙃
