Review of Dune Soundtrack

[Mahdi]

Tracksounds has posted an early review of the Dune miniseries soundtrack. It gives most tracks on the CD 3 or four stars, and an overall score of 8/10. Here is a paragraph from the review:

As it turns out, This Dune is a surprise. Yes, there are those synthesized elements one expects of a classic Revell score, yet what overshadows them is the bright, full performance of The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir and the use of a plethora of instruments from around the world. Following the outline of the original novel and the miniseries, itself, the soundtrack has been compartmentalized into three parts. Each of these three musical parts has its on flavor, yet carrying just enough commonality to keep them from clashing with one another. As Revell elaborates in the thorough liner notes, Part 1 is largely orchestral; Part 2 reflects some Middle Eastern influences, and Part 3, is more action-oriented packed with what most would expect from the composer. Coming all together, most every element of this GNP release make for an enjoyable 60 minutes + of film music.

It also mentions that the miniseries was a big disapointment for dune fans. I didn't find it that big a disapointment, did you?
