Notes
Tracklisting oddities:
- The track "Miniscule" is only a fraction of a second long, so it is listed here as 0:00 in length.
- The track "Timestretch" is a full track, 4:30 long, compressed into one second of audio.
- Tracks 10a and 10b are listed separately as Tracks 10 and 11 on the CD packaging, thus pushing Tracks 11 and 12 back to 12 and 13.
- Track 12 also comprises the extra tracks "Pink" and "Doom", not listed on the packaging.
Re-released as download in October 2006, remastered from the original studio tapes in 32bit / 96khz or 320khz hi-fi version.
Re-released by the label Microscopics in July 2008 (officialy on 14th july) and digitally remastered by Mat Jarvis.

Gas’ (2) work (= Mat P Jarvis) is completely different then Voigt's work and of a much greater diversity.
Of all artists on em:t, Gas was voted the most liked em:t artist together with Woob during a 2003 poll on the em:t website. Since his em:t 2298 album was never released, these votes are all about his only album: this em:t 0095.
0095 starts with this banging gong sound that will be etched everlastingly in your brain and evolves into this ambient dub soundscape with lots of roaring meandering basslines, obscured FSOL fairytale-strings, deep groove and beats that hit occasionally, yet always dense and firm.
This a totally essential album, nothing less.
Reviews & Discussion
Perhaps one of the most original ambient album, and certainly an essential release. It has a lot of classical ambient textures, but also very smooth and soulfull pieces of deep techno, influenced by Larry heard in many points, but completely reinterpreted. Very original indeed, could be compared to John Beltran in some points, but much more ambient, "à la" em:t !
Note : the strange sample at the end of the album are in fact recordings of the final (and demonically mad) level of Doom II!

Both are timeless great records. This one is more on the technoid side than the other ambient albums on em:t. I own my copy for more than 10 years now and still listen to it frequently. There are only very few albums that can still fascinate me after listening to them so many times. GAS0095 is an outstanding work. A highlight in the em:t series and an essential piece for every electronic music connoisseur.
