The Race For Space

The Race For Space' is the title of the second studio album by British group Public Service Broadcasting. It was released in February 2015 as the follow-up to their debut Inform-Educate-Entertain (2013). As with its predecessor The Race for Space is a concept album, recreating the story of the American and Soviet space race from 1957–1972 using archive samples mixed with original music compositions.

The album consolidated the group's critical acclaim and also gave them commercial success reaching no. 11 in the UK album charts and no. 1 in the UK Indie Albums charts the week following its release. The vinyl edition was also the fifth highest selling record of 2015 in the UK.
