Yes TOTOs score is fantastic and fits like a glove!
And still it was received as well as Zimmer‘s tracks back then. Coincidence?

Wouldn't it be funny if Zimmer himself logged on to confront the naysayers?
It would be a great chance to turn him back towards the good side of The Force--it's never too late.
Of course, it's all academic if he was just following the director's edict.
(In which case... get Villenueve in here!  )
“Dunkirk” was tense because of the story, the editing, and the cinematography. Adding a grating ticking noise and screeching sounds to amplify the tension is just overly-obvious and literal.
These tracks from “Dune” are equally literal.
In contrast, the more melodic parts of “The Rock” or “Broken Arrow” have an almost emotionally poetic quality to them because the music isn’t mirroring the look and tone of the scene but the emotional core.
Dunkirk is one of the worst scores of all time, you point out why, the obviousness of the literal quality of it. It also commits a serious sin, it puts itself in front of the film, tapping you on the shoulder throughout, telling you;
"hey, I am here to make you feel the tension! - You are tense and full of anxiety in this war film, right? I know you are."

(There is NO passage in the book that suggests the culture of Arrakis is rooted or even comparable to past-or-present-day Arabic culture.)
Um. Are you trolling?
Herbert intentionally based the Fremen on modern and historical Arabs. They are literally described as distant descendants of the Sunnis. And at least in the trailer they knew that well enough to replace the word "jihad" with "crusade". (Heh, I just found an article in Al Jazeera where THEY feel the change is denigrating and detracts from Arab and Islamic representation in the story. Missed again, Hollywood!)
So while Zimmer doesn't seem to be making an especially creative choice, it's a choice with a solid cultural basis.
Now what music is he going to write for Gurney? THAT'S the question.

Film Score Executive: "So you're saying that Dune the movie, a non person, released two tracks from it's own score?"
Film Score Thread Pitcher: "That's what I'm going with."
