EXCELLENT DISQUE
April 12th of 1961 is an important date in history: the Vostok I capsule was rocket propelled into Earth's orbit as its Captain Yuri Gagarin was officially the first man on space. While leaving earth Gagarin whistled the russian tune "The Motherland Hears, The Motherland Knows"* as recorded on the mission's verbatim. The first lines of the song are: "The Motherland hears, the Motherland knows / Where her son flies in the sky" displaying the Soviet patriotism and pride put into their quest to conquer space.
Almost 50 years later sound artists Luís Antero pays tribute to Yuri's amazing journey with a beautify release that IH is quite proud to publish. Radio Yuri takes us into an splendid experience where recognizable and unrecognizable sounds greatly blend while evoking Yuri's feat of being the fist man to leave earth crossing the limits of what was thought possible, and reaching into a place that only the imagination dared to go.
* "Родина слышит, Родина знает": written by Dmitri Shostakovich in 1951 (opus 86), with words by Yevgeniy Dolmatovsky.
