Gas 0095 was the debut album of electronic musician Mat Jarvis (High Skies) released under his Gas moniker. It was written, performed and recorded in his Nottingham studio during 1994 and released on Em:t Records (Emit Records) in January 1995.
The album was never advertised and quickly sold on word of mouth alone. Today it is much sought after among collectors and on auction sites like eBay. The album was encoded in 3D by the huge and hugely expensive Roland Sound Space RSS 3D sound imaging system.
Gas 0095 has just been remastered and released on Jarvis' new microscopics label.

[edit] Oddities
- The track "Timestretch" is a full four minute track, shrunk down into one second of audio. Much speculation has been made over whether this track can be stretched back again to recover the full version.
- The track "Minuscule" is actually 0.00 seconds long. Truly minuscule.
- There are two extra unlisted tracks, "Pink" and "Doom", which appear at the end of the album.
[edit] Artwork
Em:t releases are noted for their striking graphic design, and the 0095 cover is no different. It displays a very iconographic invertebrae ctenophora zooming off like an alien spaceship. The high resolution nature photography is believed to have been chosen by the artist with layout by British design firm The Designer's Republic.
