 After seeing Dune, Team Göransson now all the way baby
A lot of it sounded like the Batman stuff, in my opinion. I can't believe Hans brought back Lisa Gerrard. My god, that shit was played out by the mid 2000s.

Idk what you're talking about. Lisa Gerrard wasn't the main vocalist; Loire Cotler killed it in the score, she swung for the fences & delivered. It sounds completely new, even Chris Nolan said it's very fresh.

And even Loire’s solo vocals were used minimally. This isn’t another ZS’s JL. The score relies more on layered voices - something he experimented with on Dark Phoenix.

I think this score is one his best. He delivered an incredible main theme (as always) and created a world of new sounds for this film.

Exactly. & it has so many great tracks, especially with the film. "Dream of Arrakis", "Leaving Caladan", "Armada" to name a few .. Really took the theater experience to great heights.

Me too, Sandstorm got stuck in my head for quite a while after the movie.

I love that quiet, filtered synth arp that goes throughout the track, it really makes you feel like you’re in a dream, perfect for that scene in the film

Dune Soundtrack was annoying as hell. Especially that clichee oriental/ethno female crying. So damn exhausting. There was no striking melody that everyone immediately assign to Dune. Hans Zimmers last great soundtrack was Interstellar.

I'm glad Göransson is on board now.
