Solid Space was a short-lived British minimal wave band, formed in 1980 by Maf Vosburgh and Dan Goldstein. Vosburgh and Goldstein, who met at age 11, were previously involved in 1970s new wave band Exibit A and formed a record label, Irrelevant Wombat Records, at age 14.[1]

The band spent the next couple of years after their formation recording,[1] with contributions from Jon Winegum.[2] The band's only release that featured all of their material, titled Space Museum, was released on cassette in 1982 through In Phaze Records. Following its release, Solid Space disbanded and their members drifted into obscurity.[3]

Despite staying underground, the band was influential in the development of minimal wave and other related electronic music genres, influencing acts such as In Trance 95.[4]
