Frank Herbert

"Frank Herbert" is the third of the six portraits on X, and Schulze composed it; he is credited with the electronics and Harald Grosskopf with the drum kit, and the string orchestra and cello are not credited on this track. It is on side two of the first disc. The subject is the author of Dune (1965), a lifelong inspiration to Schulze that also partly inspired his 1979 album Dune, which does not contain this track. We found no quote from Schulze about the piece, and no chart, video, live history, cover or sample.

The length is 10:51 on Wikipedia, 10:42 on the MusicBrainz release and 10:47 in a Progarchives snippet. The catalog number Brain 0080.023 comes from one snippet and is unconfirmed. In 2000 Schulze reworked the Nietzsche and Trakl pieces as "Crazy Nietzsche" and "Discover Trakl" on The Ultimate Edition, but no Herbert rework turned up. We could not read the uploader or duration of our upload, so cannot say whether it is the original studio recording or the 2017 remaster.
