Dark Space I is the first studio album by the Swiss black metal band Darkspace. It was first released by Haunter of the Dark in 2003 in a limited edition of 500 Digipak CDs. In 2006, it was remastered and re-released by Avantgarde Music in unlimited quantity. In 2014, Avantgarde also released a vinyl version.
"Dark 1.2" contains a sample of HAL 9000 from the film 2001.
Darkspace is a Swiss ambient black metal band from Bern.
Their lyrical themes revolve around space, darkness and cosmic mysticism, and their music features sporadic isolated samples from space-themed films such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Event Horizon and Alien.
The band does not title their works; all of their songs bear the name of "Dark" and are differentiated only by two additional numbers, being the album number and overall song number respectively, which are separated by a decimal point. Additionally, all of their albums are titled Dark Space, differentiated only by a Roman numeral indicating order of release; for example, "Dark 1.6" is the sixth overall song from their debut album, Dark Space I. Counter-intuitively, their 4th album is not titled Dark Space IV, but Dark Space III I.
The band's album covers follow a consistent pattern in that their sole features are the band's logo on the top-center, a rectangle on the bottom-right (which varies in size, shape and position) containing vague and ethereal grayscale artwork which differs with each release, and a black background.
