Отдельным синглом вышел классический официальный ремикс на музыканта Liquinoid, записанный Александром Поляковым в 2003 году. На примере этой работы можно проследить как трансформировалась звуковая концепция ППК от года к году, при этом основными критериями всегда оставались мелодизм, драйв, ну и конечно, ощущение Космоса.
Воскрешение 25 @ PPK
В этом году исполнилось 25 лет с того момента как Александр Поляков записал "Воскрешение". Это тот самый трек, который впоследствии стал настоящей космической оперой и гимном для всех мечтателей о космических далях. Спустя четверть века "Воскрешение" по-прежнему окружает себя старыми и новыми слушателями, вдохновляя и волнуя всех нас.
Иcтория создания "Воскрешения" уходит в 1996 год. Тогда в ходе экспериментов была записана первая версия будущего хита. С подачи ближайшего окружения и друзей Александра Полякова за этим треком закрепилось название "Гагарин". Это было за два года до появления проекта ППК. Тогда Александр называл себя псевдонимом «Acid Rain» («Кислотный дождь»). Основная работа над той версией, которая стала известна всему миру была сделана в феврале 1999 года. В апреле в студийную сессию были внесены незначительные изменения и финальные штрихи - сведение и мастеринг. Мелодия, которая звучит в "Воскрешении" всегда была рядом с Александром Поляковым, являясь фоном его детства, а потом и юности. Эта мелодия очень соответствовала духу всего космического, невероятного и захватывающего и вызывала очень сильные впечатления. Так уж сложилось, что она всегда ассоциировалась у Александра Полякова с фильмом «Укрощение огня». Возможно, так сработали детские яркие образы, которые наложили музыку Эдуарда Артемьева на кино драматургию Даниила Храбровицкого. Таким образом, уже при работе над треком Гагарин/Воскрешение возникла уверенность, что мелодия эта из того самого фильма, в котором переплетены прообразы Сергея Королёва и Юрия Гагарина. Автором музыки к фильму «Укрощение огня» является композитор Андрей Петров. Позже выяснилось, что автором мелодии, которая звучит в "Воскрешении" является Эдуард Артемьев, с которым состоялась встреча и было получено разрешение.

Modern History
Time is in the habit not to stop and not to be late in one point on the never-ending way. Made in the past doesn't remain behind in literal sense of words. Remained in space and memory, it was generated in the improbable power force, inducing to go further, despite of everything. The past for the Future.
But, anyhow - Time, not capable to stand in each separate point in a reality, plays into the hands of us, without suspecting about it. Time is cyclic, time runs on a spiral. Second after a second. Coming back in a new kind and quality in a reference point. Modern history readout. Seven years have passed, but who has noticed them? Perhaps they also weren't at all. Not important it. Important that the history proceeds also its end isn't visible)
After almost 13 years in project structure the Roman Korzhov comes back!
