The instrumental opening moves from the vast, uncanny sound of Arrakis into the Atreides' foreboding political world and Paul's visions. The vocal half follows betrayal, desert survival, Fremen life, and the pull of a destiny that may be both liberating and dangerous, with tracks chosen for specific characters and themes rather than generic space atmosphere.
