Nine cuts and two speeds that barely touch: that is the first thing to sort out before 'Dune' goes in the bag. Half the record lives between 84 and 105 BPM while the other half jumps to the 129–144 range, with 'Lapin Loop' as the only stepping stone in between. Behind the decks, that means two different jobs, not one continuous set.
For openers, 'Cetaceans' is the obvious pick: 84 BPM, eight and a half minutes in D minor, the slowest pulse of the whole lot and plenty of room to set a mood without rushing. Right behind it sits the C minor pair: 'Honey The Moon' at 102 and 'Fox In The Nest' at 105 — three BPM apart, same key, a transition that practically mixes itself. That stretch matches the label's own description of the album: swirling psydub lifted by ethereal female vocals.
The peak-time material sits up top. 'Everybody's Weird' and 'The Lost Charango', the two collaborations with Neurospacey, share A minor at 139 and 140 BPM — blendable without touching the pitch fader, with the former's ten minutes as a platform to stretch the climax. 'Kuntari', at 141 in D major, brings the bright turn of the fast block, while 'Little Sand Creatures' — 144 BPM and under three minutes — works better as a tool or lightning bridge than a cut to develop. 'Lapin Loop', at 129 in A major, is the only real walkway between both worlds: if you need to climb from the dub zone into the breaks in a single mix, that is the route.
Behind the alias is Björn Alexandridis, and Mystic Sound — a label devoted to psychedelic downtempo — put the record out in early June. The title track, 'Dune', at 102 in D major, is the natural landing: saved for the close, it brings the floor back down after the fast block and rounds off the session with the same calm 'Cetaceans' opened it with. This record is not one set: it is two, and knowing that before you play is half the job.
