GAS
Experimental label Microscopics officially re-releases the seminal, ambient electronic album, "Gas 0095", digitally re-mastered with the original, collectable artwork. The time is right to revisit and appreciate an album widely acknowledged as a masterpiece.
Gas is producer Mat Jarvis, also known for his High Skies project. In 1995, he completed the experimental, electronic ambient album "Gas 0095" for the label Emit. Although now defunct, back in 1995 Emit was a hotbed for experimental music. Mojo Magazine stated that' if abstract music has a cutting edge then the Emit label is at it; whereas Urb Magazine declared "Emit will go down in history.the music transcends classification, it's timeless". Emit was a perfect outlet for Mat Jarvis and upon completion, the label released "Gas 0095", 15 tracks that DJ Mag described at the time as the ideal soundtrack to a 20 hour IMAX film on the history of space travel.
This music was not only ground-breaking and experimental, but was produced to the highest standard at the Gas studio in Nottingham. Mixmag called it "exotic, perplexing, unusual and cool" while Melody Maker said that the album takes electronic music on new and uncharted journeys unmissable.
Now, painstakingly re-mastered at 32 bit/96khz with a luxurious 32db dynamic range, creating a vast cinematic soundscape, it is achingly apparent why the plaudits for "Gas 0095" were so enthusiastic. This is a beautiful, awe-inspiring collection of sounds and music, the importance of which in the evolution of electronic music should not be underestimated.
