Public Service Broadcasting - The Race For Space (Remixes)

 

The Race For Space / Remixes, eight tracks that tell the story of the USA and USSR's battle for supremacy in space, this time remixed by and through the lens of PSB's talented musical contemporaries. The album includes mixes from Field Music, Boxed In, Vessels, Dutch Uncles, Maps, Copy Paste Soul, Petar Dundov and Kauf. The Race For Space reached #11 in the UK album charts in its first week – with 5 weeks in the top 40 and 14 weeks in the top 100 – selling over 100k records worldwide since its release, recently achieving Gold status in the UK. J. Willgoose Esq. points out, "Even back when I was still writing this
album, I was imagining the kind of remixes we could get and the artists who we'd ask. I couldn't be happier with how it's turned out; I think this is a really interesting and fresh (and in some cases mildly bonkers, a good thing in my book) reinterpretation of our songs and I'm looking forward to sharing it with our fans." Press quotes "This is the pinnacle of what PSB are trying to achieve, by breathing new life into dusty old relics, and it makes for truly magical, exhilarating listening" The 405. “Vividly conveys the triumph, the glamour and the tragedy of the space race” Album Of The Week. Time Out. “Rich and evocative, 'The Race For Space' is the sound of two young men gazing heavenwards and dreaming” Uncut. "Vibrates with poignancy and grandeur" Q. “Out of this world” The Observer ****. “A magnificent record” GQ. “A rocket-fuelled silver screen roller coaster… PSB are pushing the boundaries of what rock music can be” DIY.
