Phantom Astronauts is a cold, pulsing electronic descent into the shadowed corridors of Cold War paranoia and space-age mythology. Inspired by Kraftwerk’s clinical futurism, the militant thrust of Nitzer Ebb, and the grit and urgency of Front 242 and Portion Control, the track fuses EBM’s disciplined structure with the haunting atmosphere of a forgotten space transmission.

A relentless EBM bass synth anchors the track, cycling like a launch countdown. Each bar punctuates with a vocal sample — a central voice solemnly counts “Five,” while opposing channels whisper, “One small step” and “The Eagle has landed,” creating a surround-sound echo chamber of propaganda, memory, and lost contact.

Thematically, the song draws on the “phantom cosmonaut” conspiracy theory — the idea that Soviet astronauts were launched into space and lost, erased from history. The track becomes a musical black box, relaying broken messages from presumed-dead cosmonauts drifting endlessly in orbit, betrayed by the machinery they trusted.

Soviet Underground is a collective dedicated to the revival of Soviet era underground music scene, centered around the music of influential Red Wave bands. They aim to bring a feel and a glimpse of that sound and atmosphere to the western "music-lover". The music, presented by Soviet Underground, takes the connoisseur on a historic journey through covers of iconic and cult numbers.
