Comment:

he's wanted to live the exciting life of a cosmonaut ever since he can remember... but the truth is, he now finds outer-space to be a quiet and lonely place. he misses the Moscow springtime and taking long strolls through Gorky Park with his young wife, Inessa. On his last mission, he had a brief-but-passionate affair with fellow cosmonaut Tatjana Korolenko, but as soon as they returned to Earth, she acted like he didn't even exist! listen to side
one.
listen to side
two.

Any mix of Russian and spacey-sounding electronic music is alright with me, perfectly developed narrative.

This is jaw-droppingly great. Wonderful DH intro, so cool.. The combination of Russian muzik and moogy electronica is a bizzare, intruiging, yet thoroughly satisfying combination. All hail the Scarecrow & Tornado (silent zee).
Nice one..

I've been wanting to leave a comment on this one for a while but wasn't able to for obvious site glitches. Anyway, I wanted to say that I hate this! J/K. I thought this one was one of your most brilliant mixes to date. It really held together quite cohesively with the into/outro and song breaks in between. A real pleasure to hear in its entirety.

Love the mixed quality of this - atmospheric future-nostalgia - the best theme - and the Russian slant just makes it star-worthy.
