  SOYUZ!
The Vostok design was dropped (its pure ballistic reentry vehicle would impose crushing G loads on return from a circumlunar mission).
After the death of Khruschev, Chelomei's patron, a revised decision was made to accomplish the circumlunar mission with a single launch of a lightened Soyuz (designated "L1") atop a Proton booster for a loop around the moon.
It used aerodynamic lift during reentry to reduce G loads on the crew and fly to a designated recovery area.

 Solar Skiff
Most reentry vehicles make use of a "blunt" or "lifting body" concept, in which a detached shock wave forms at some distance from the vehicle itself.
This allows most of the heat of reentry to be carried away from the vehicle, without ever coming in direct contact with the vehicle's skin.
During reentry the heat shield would char and flake off, carrying this remaining heat away from the spacecraft in a process known as ablation.

 New Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock W
It has some great uptempo keyboard songs (including his version of "Rhapsody in Blue"), and a couple nice piano ballades, but also included are some cheesy/goofy pieces that you'll want to skip over.
Since it is a two album set, he should have put the best cuts onto one record.
There are also some more mainstream rock pieces, but they aren't really offensive enough to make me skip them, though most of them aren't especially exciting or distinctive.
