Space Museum

Solid Space formed in the UK in late 70s. The two members, Maf Vosburgh and Dan Goldstein met at school when they were 11. Around the age of 14, they started playing in a 4-piece new wave band called Exhibit A. By 15, they had created their own record label, Irrelevant Wombat Records (1979). In 1980, they formed Solid Space, and spent the next couple of years recording. They released all their material on the Space Museum cassette in 1984. According to Maf, “Solid Space at that point involved me getting on a bus with a bunch of equipment and going over to Dan’s house for the afternoon, one reason we always favoured light battery-powered gear.” Some of the highlights include ‘A Darkness In My Soul’, ‘Destination Moon’, and ’10th Planet’. These songs are dark, atmospheric, and atypical because they contain acoustic guitar along with synthesizers and drum machines. Rumour has it that a bunch of labels have been trying to reissue this one for about a decade now. Good luck!
