There's a false start with me playing the main bass line with a faster tempo (the tempo I originally imagined). I found the slower tempo works better, but I felt like keeping a little bit of the fast version there just as example of what it sounds like.

It's just a demo. I plan on expanding it later.

Here's the story behind the title:


Soviet space program conspiracy accusations
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lost Cosmonauts (or Phantom Cosmonauts) were cosmonauts that allegedly entered outer space but whose existence has never been acknowledged by either Soviet or Russian space authorities.

Proponents of the Lost Cosmonauts do not disagree that Yuri Gagarin was the first man to survive space travel, but claim that the Soviets attempted to launch at least two humans into space prior to Gagarin, both of whom died. Another cosmonaut, Vladimir Ilyushin, is said to have landed off-course and was held by the Chinese government. The Soviet government supposedly suppressed this information to prevent bad publicity for their space program during the height of the Cold War.

While there is some evidence supporting these assertions, much of it is disputed. Even with access to published Soviet archival material and memoirs of Russian space pioneers, no hard evidence has emerged. Some argue that records are still being kept confidential, or were destroyed altogether. James Oberg, who has researched space-related disasters in the Soviet Union, has found no evidence of these Lost Cosmonauts (Oberg 1988:156-76).
