"DÜN (1981) came from Nantes in France, an instrumental sextet with ambitions of uniting all "known" types of prog. DÜN were the bastard offspring of Frank Zappa and MAGMA, with a heavy dose of RIO sensibility. The result was a mix of Canterbury-, Zappa-, RIO-, Zeuhl- and symphonic impulses. Eros was the group's only album. Recorded in 1981 and based on a popular concept written by Frank Herbert, "Dune" would become as some sort of reference with the track "Arrakis". All the tracks are consistently good, even on through the bonus tracks. The four studio tracks smoke from beginning to end." - Source: Progressive Room (YT)

Sorry for moving away from the library/production thread momentarily and for jumping all over the place, but I thought I would stretch my ears more. My hook was Arrakis at 9:36 with great flute, which prompted me to listen to the rest of the album. I know I should listen to more songs with lyrics, but there are also so many instrumentals like these to get through.
1. L'Epice
2. Arrakis
3. Bitonio
4. Eros
5. Arrakis (1979 demo version)
6. Bitonio (1979 demo version)
7. Arrakis (1978 demo version)
