Secrets of the Third Planet - The Space Voyage (2021)


The Russian Secrets of the Third Planet already appeared on this blog with an interesting but short EP last year. Now they are proving that there's little they can't do, with a new, space ambient (in a way) album called The Space Voyage.

The origins of this album reach the Moscow Music Week in 2019 when the Moscow-based band presented their own live music for a Soviet sci-fi movie The Space Voyage from 1936. And as you could guess, the now-released new soundtrack is as old-school sci-fi as possible. There's not much of the modern, bass-saturated space ambient here, it is more about tangible, synth and old technology-like sounds. This is a concept album so everything is set in a similar tone, but Don't Worry Mom! may be just the most fitting music to this concept, making me think of the romantic and kind of naive old sci-fi texts by Lem or Asimov.

This retro approach is what clearly makes this album something unique. And tracks like Sleepy Boy, Signal or the noisier ones at the end of the release can easily function outside of the movie-soundtrack frame.

The Space Voyage costs 10 USD.
