- A remastered and extended edition of the 1979 concept album will be released next month.
Bernard Szajner's 1979 album Visions Of Dune will be reissued in August by French label InFiné Music.
Originally released under the Frenchman's Z moniker on Pathé Marconi EMI, the LP was specifically inspired by Frank Herbert's iconic Dune novels and, according to Szajnet, reflect a "concept of the book that [he] had decoded." The album has been remastered from the original tapes by Dubplates & Mastering engineer Rashad Becker and includes two previously unreleased tracks from the session: "Duke" and "Spice."
Finders Keepers boss and Szajner admirer Andy Votel has assembled a minimix ahead of the release. Votel says the "Gallic-magnetic conceptual synth-pop classic" has been "waiting over 30 years for the right time to touch-down on planet earth to re-fuel." The mix can be streamed below.
