I (or Bass Communion I) is the first studio album released by British musician, songwriter, and producer Steven Wilson under the pseudonym Bass Communion in 1998. It was reissued in December 2001 through Hidden Art record label.
The basis of both "Drugged" pieces were reused for the title track of No-Man's album Together We're Stranger as well as "Drugged 3" from Bass Communion II. Brief distorted extracts from the suite can also be heard on the 1996 song "Urban Disco," a b-side from the "Housewives Hooked on Heroin" single (of the Wild Opera album), recorded by No-Man, a Wilson project and collaboration with singer-songwriter Tim Bowness.
