PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING The Race For Space (2023 UK/EU limited edition 9-track LP pressed on classic black vinyl. With The Race For Space, Public Service Broadcasting expand their unique fusion of archival narration, tight rhythmicdrive and widescreen electronica into a cohesive narrative of the space race. Working once again with exclusive British Film Institute footage, they chart the tension, triumph and tragedy of the era through inventive sampling, sharp production detail and a strong sense of atmosphere. From the triumphant brass sweep of "Gagarin" to the stark poignancy of "Fire in the Cockpit," the record shifts effortlessly between exuberance and reflection. "The Other Side" and "Go!" capture moments of extraordinary human achievement, while "Valentina," featuring Smoke Fairies, adds a striking melodic counterpoint. The reversible sleeve - offering both USA and USSR designs - underscores the album's dual perspective and careful historical framing. Hype sticker & factory sealed. Recommended).
