TIL the history behind the "space melody".

You may know it as Space Melody by Luna Park or as ResuRection by ППК (English: PPK), but the original melody was composed by Eduard Artemyev for the 1979 Soviet film Siberiade. The original name of the song, as titled in the movie's soundtrack release, is la mort du héroes (the death of heroes, if my French is correct).

Here's a link to the original composition, if you're curious.

  • I listened to the first several seconds of Space Melody by Luna Park and I wasn't quite sure what famous space melody we were discussing. I clicked the link to the original composition and immediately picked up on it, and now of course I have to listen to ResuRection by PPK since I'm fairly certain that's where I first heard this.

    Thanks for this wild trip down a music memory lane!
