"Lost in Space" is a song by English electronic music group Apollo 440. It served as the theme to the 1998 science-fiction adventure film Lost in Space , which is based on the 1965 television programme of the same name. The original theme, written by John Williams, was remixed by Apollo 440 for the film. [2] Apollo 440 later included the song on their third studio album, Gettin' High on Your Own Supply (1999). Released as a single on 27 July 1998, "Lost in Space" became the group's highest-charting single in their home country, peaking at number four on the UK Singles Chart.

"Lost in Space" was released in the United Kingdom on 27 July 1998 as two CD singles and a cassette single. [3] The first CD contains two B-sides: "Will & Penny's Theme" from the Lost in Space soundtrack and "Alpha Point", a remake of "Omega Point" from Apollo 440's 1995 album Millennium Fever . [4] The second CD contains three remixes and a video edit of "Lost in Space" while the cassette includes the original theme, the Jason Nevins Lunar Landing remix, and a slightly longer version "Will & Penny's Theme". [5] [6] Six days after its release, the song debuted and peaked at number four on the UK Singles Chart, giving Apollo 440 their highest-charting hit in the UK. It stayed within the top 100 for eight weeks and ended the year at number 103 on the UK year-end chart. [7] [8]
