Space Museum is the only studio album by British minimal wave band Solid Space. It was released in 1982 by In Phaze Records through cassette, eventually becoming a rarity.[1] It was produced by the record label's owner Pat Bermingham.[2]
The album's sound has been described as "cold, disconnected, minimal synth-pop full of eerie moods and bizarre melodies." It features lyrics about traveling through the galaxy, "delivered in a robotic deadpan vocals."[1] Tracks such as "‘A Darkness In My Soul", "Destination Moon", and "10th Planet" off the album were also considered as "dark, atmospheric and atypical", because they feature acoustic guitar along with synthesizers and drum machines.[3]
The album was named number 2 on Fact magazine's list of "The 20 best Minimal Wave records ever made".[3] The cover art is taken from the Doctor Who serial "The Wheel in Space".
