Race is the third studio album released by Australian new wave band Pseudo Echo. It was released via EMI Australia in 1988 and RCA Records internationally in 1989. Race resulted in a musical change for the group as it mirrored the music landscape at the time; dominated by big hair, big guitars and rock. While the album no doubt alienated the majority of the band's fan base, it equally attracted a new breed of rock loving fans.[2]
The album included their track "Take On the World", which won at 1987 World Popular Song Festival (a.k.a. Yamaha Music Festival) in Japan.[3]
Three singles were released from the album. The first, "Fooled Again" (which had "Take On the World" as a B-side), peaked at No. 32 in Australia in late 1988.[4]
