Recorded
at
The
Pool
Studios
and
Abbey
Road
in
London
and,
once
again
working
with
exclusive
archive
footage
from
the
British
Film
Institute,
the
album
tells
the
story
of
the
American
&
Soviet
space
race
from
1957
–
1972
via
the
duo’s
eccentric
mix
of
guitar-driven
electronica,
propulsive
drumming
and
spoken
word
samples
culled
from
this
uniquely
rich
period
of
modern
history.
“Rich
and
evocative,
'The
Race
For
Space'
is
the
sound
of
two
young
men
gazing
heavenwards
and
dreaming”
Uncut

"Vibrates
with
poignancy
and
grandeur"

“Out
of
this
world”
The
Observer
****
//
The
Independent’s
Simon
Price
said
of
the
band
:
“In
their
love
of
history,
and
their
understanding
of
the
dignity
of
the
wartime
generation,
they
remind
me
of
British
Sea
Power,
although
Stereolab
are
closer
sonically.
