David Paich- really? The score's theme was by ENO. The other members of the GREAT BAND- Toto also participated. Let's not forget the "Ace in the Hole" David's father the Immortal Marty Paich who conducted the Vienna Symphony Orchestra on the project. You speak to David and his "chops". Well, kid-he showed his "chops" all his career leading up to DUNE. He could have recorded this score when he was a Senior in High School. It's MUCH harder to write HIT Songs than a freaking passable score. Alan Parsons Project is all All-Time fave group of mine, but I give most of that credit to Eric Woolfson-you know- the guy that actually WROTE their songs and many BIG hit songs and sang. Why the focus on "Rock Stars". No Mystery. No Imagination. Not really understanding your push-back here. But you seem to have taken something personally. Firstly, Eno created "A" theme, not the "MAIN" theme. "Prophecy Theme" takes up all of 4:21. The other 73-odd minutes are Paich & the rest of the group. No one is diminishing Marty Paich's arranging and conducting achievement--it's just not what the question was about. Second, your conclusions of the APP are just a wee bit inaccurate. Thor explained it fairly well. Thirdly, the reasons for my composer suggestions were explained IN the post itself. You're asking a question that was already answered. To suggest that "rock stars" can't also create good film scores is 2-dimentional thinking. I'm interested in good results, regardless of the composer's background. Lastly, Toto's "Dune" is a great score. "Freaking passable" is just flat-out ridiculous. And if you don't think it was mainly due to Paich, then you have not heard the demos that he originally submitted to Lynch.
