Dune is a 1984 American epic space opera film written and directed by David Lynch and based on the 1965 Frank Herbert novel Dune. It was filmed at the Churubusco Studios in Mexico City. The soundtrack was composed by the rock band Toto, with a contribution from Brian Eno.
A separate and distinct "Prophecy Theme" by composer Brian Eno makes a dreary, boring, and minimal contribution to the film. A theme for Leto and the house of Atreides in general is a noble piece heard in "Leto's Theme" and is largely short-changed in the film (usually yielding to the title theme).

Eno did one (1) synth track, the Prophecy Theme, and that's it. His special billing in the credits is a little ridiculous, since he only did the one track and Toto did everything else. If you're a fan of the Dune soundtrack you will not be disappointed, I promise you.
The music on the album features edited-down compositions and is presented in chronological order as heard in the theatical film, with the exception of some cues in "Amon Hen" and the end credits mix from "The Breaking of the Fellowship".
