Kosmobushir

darkdelight NIGHTMARE FUEL! Industrial sci-fi dark ambient from beginning to end. I can feel the ageing bulkheads creaking and straining through the cold depths of space. The isolation and every nuance of the ships sounds are perfectly visualised. Space Ambient has never been so wonderfully bleak. Favorite track: Akademgorodok.

darkcasey Kosmobushir is a fun journey into the bleak mystery of a doomed spaceship. If you find the idea of being in space riveting, even with all of the peril and strangeness that it might entail, this album might be a great one for you. Not only does it give you ominous creaking and hissing soundscapes to relax to, but it also frames them with an alternative history-fuelled future, and a conundrum, to boot! Favorite track: Far Beyond The Reach.

Reiko Samata Unbelievably dark and ominous. There's an almost indescribable atmosphere to this album. The cold industrial feel truly puts you in the corridors of this hulking Soviet space ship. If you enjoy your space ambience seriously dark then this is for you! Favorite track: Further Aft.
Ryota Hara

Ryota Hara Darker and more mechanical in nature than ANIHILA's previous release Silent Annihilation Duncan Ritchie (aka Flowers for Bodysnatchers) has set this album in the deepest darkest corners of your mind. Here you're taken on a voyage into fear, loneliness and eventual oblivion. Favorite track: Metastasis.

valnakata A truly dark industrial space ambience ebbs and flows with this new release from ANIHILA. You feel the isolation and deep cold from the very opening track. The idea that the Soviet Union won the space race of the early 20th century creates a fantastically ominous atmosphere and haunting narrative. Favorite track: Akademgorodok.

about

The year, 2158. The Soviet Union has defeated the United States in the space race of the early 21st century. They now explore the outer reaches of our solar system mining, terraforming and colonising the planets, moons and asteroids that make up the Greater USSR System of Planets. Almost a quarter of a million Soviet Citizens now inhabit the planets and moons as far out as Saturn with all but a hand full of Cosmonauts now beginning the exploration beyond to Neptune. An area of space thought beyond the reach of human exploration and technology.

The Soviet kosmobushir (space tug) ‘Akademgorodok’ or ‘AKey’ for short is the ship now operating farthest beyond the reach. On a slow approach to Triton, Neptune’s most outer moon and crewed by lone Cosmonaut Yuri Leonov. His mission is the detailed scanning, detection and mapping of objects that long range scanners on the moons of Saturn can not detect. A methodical 4-Space Geometric scan done sector by sector by sector creating detailed spacial maps for future vessels to safely navigate, something the Akademgorodok can do by itself. The Soviet Union though believes the true exploration of space begins with the mind and body of Soviet Citizens willing to go “Far Beyond the Reach”.

The following transmission was received by Saturn’s deep space transmitter on Titan. It was received in the year 2172, fourteen years after the USSR space tug Akademgorodok was last heard from. What you are about to read is from a conversation between the ships onboard A.I. ‘AKey’ and Yuri Leonov. The only portion of the conversation received was from the ships A.I.
