Dune: Spice Opera is a rare CD featuring music from the computer game Dune and some unreleased tracks, published by Virgin Records in 1992. Virgin Records was later sold to EMI, which then became the new holders of the copyright.
This album is out of print, so copies are generally available only secondhand or illegally (under U.S. copyright law). Despite the fact that EMI appears to have no plans to re-release the album in the future, it still refuses to return the copyright to any of the composers.

[edit] Artistic comment
The two artists who created this album are Picq and Ulrich. Picq was the official musician at Cryo, while Ulrich was the project leader. Picq composed most of the tracks, though some were joint projects. "Spice Opera" is an example of Picq's "organic" style.
[edit] Illegal copies
Because the CD is no longer sold, Stéphane Picq commented on the availability of illegal copies:
I received many mails asking me about a new release of "DUNE Spice Opera". Unfortunately, the owners of the rights, EMI publishing, does not want to give me back the rights, even if they don't intend to reprint it in the future! :( Be patient, dudes, because I've signd [sic] with those bastards for 30 years!! Well, I should have read better my contracts (written in english) when I signed with CRYO and VIRGIN (now EMI). BUT... My crystal ball said to me that a MP3 copy of the whole thing is going to be available somewhere on the net... but shhhht! I did not told [sic] you... and I have nothing to do with it, cos' it's a pirate who did it. Anyway, nobody will be able to find any proof it could come from me ;^)[1]
