"Spalax is currently reissuing all the works of Bernard Szajner, one of the major electronic musicians to have emerged in the seventies. One of the first technicians to build and conceive lasershows, he is now today recognized by the most famous DJs as one of their best sources of inspiration. Vision of Dune is his first LP which was originally released under the group name of Zed." "1979 album inspired by the Frank Herbert novel Dune, fills in a few extra pieces of the Szajner puzzle (strategically) left out by Carl Craig. An all star cast (rivaling any Altman movie) were assembled to perform this life-opus (Hahn Rowe on bass, Klaus Basquiz on treated voice, Colin Swinburne on guitar, Celement Bailly drums, Annanka Raghel on synthesized voice, and Szajner on Oberheim/Arp/laser generators, etc...), which ended up sonically similar to earlier records by Heldon (massive analog-synth-sequences modulating up in whole steps for 10 straight minutes), easily 20 X better than the dreck Toto/Eno wrote for Lynch (too bad synthesizer technology had to go & change so much -- for the best, of course, between '79 and '83). Szajner thanks Frank Herbert 'for the visions that he gave me', in fact I'm channeling crystal-clear visions of the Freeman Brothers, locked in their living room with only two weeks worth of pizza rinds as sustenance, wearing matching Darth/Luke masks, fighting over the last remaining quantities of 'spice'. From-fucking-outer-space." -- Hrvatski.
