Eros is the name of the first (and, to date, only) recording made by the French progressive rock band Dün. The record was self-released as a vinyl LP; a thousand copies were printed and sold by the band at concert. The band failed to find a record label for a further, international distribution. The concept of the album was based on Frank Herbert's novel Dune, which particularly fascinated Geeraerts and Vandenbulcke.

Reception

The LP was re-released and remastered several times, including in 2000 by Soleil Zeuhl as a CD with eight tracks, in 2012 with 12 tracks and in 2020 with nine tracks, with bonus tracks added to the original four tracks on the LP. The album received 4.25/5 points, at 518 votes on the progressive music portal Prog Archives. It is rated as one of the best instrumental progressive rock albums to date and recommended as a unique masterpiece. Also on the German-language progressive rock portal Babyblaue Seiten, the 2000 and 2012 CD editions of the album were rated very positively and received 12.67/15 points. It is praised as a worthwhile rediscovery of a forgotten work, due to its "decidedly virtuoso and varied prog-jazz and zeuhl touch".
