In the original miniseries of _Dune_ that came out in 2000, the few space scenes were silent and were _awesome_. Tiny ships flying past enormous heighliners, no engine sounds or music.

Unfortunately the ‘special edition’ or ‘extended edition’ or whatever they called it that came out a few years later changed that and added whooshy engines and music. ☹
