Bless the Maker: the Great Houses of Laced Records and Funcom have forged a temporary trade agreement to bring you the expansive soundtrack for Dune: Awakening on vinyl.

The hit survival game has garnered critical praise for it's incredibly faithful and detailed realisation of the Dune universe-from it's sprawling vistas to deep lore and political intrigue. The music is integral in recreating the atmosphere of Arrakis, conjuring not only it's striking landscapes but the human experience of life on the planet.

Recorded live at Air Studios in London with The Chamber Orchestra of London, Haugen's soundtrack conjures a planetary sense of scale. Arcing strings shimmer and twist weightless in the air like heat rising from the desert floor, while resonant brass evokes dawn stretching out across the sands. The luscious acoustic instrumentation is enhanced and elevated by rippling electronics, capturing Dune's singular blend of science fiction and spiritual tradition. Soaring vocal performances from Clara Sorace, Eurielle and Emília Rovira Alegre centre this sense of the sacred, pushing the soundtrack to ecstatic emotional peaks.
