Dust is the sixth solo studio album by English musician Peter Murphy. It was released on 23 April 2002 through Metropolis Records. Produced by Turkish musician Mercan Dede, Dust utilizes traditional Turkish instrumentation and songwriting, abandoning Murphy's previous pop and rock incarnations, and juxtaposing elements from progressive rock, trance, classical music and Middle Eastern music, coupled with Dede's trademark atmospheric electronics.[1][2][3]

Dust features extensive contributions from various Turkish musicians, as well as other musicians such as violinist Hugh Marsh and jazz bassist Jamaaladeen Tacuma.[1] The album also includes re-recorded versions of two songs from earlier in Murphy's career: "Subway" from Cascade (1995) and "My Last Two Weeks" from Love Hysteria (1988).[3] It charted on Billboard Independent Albums, peaking at number 38.[4]
