The album was never advertised, yet quickly began selling by word of mouth. Before its 2008 re-release and remaster it was known to regularly sell for $400+ on auction sites, like eBay, to collectors. [1] The album was encoded in 3D by the large and hugely expensive Roland Sound Space RSS 3D sound imaging system.

In 2008, Gas 0095 was remastered at 32bit/96 kHz from the original studio tapes, and re-released on CD and digital download by Jarvis on the Microscopics label as Micro-000001. [2]

Oddities

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 an artist with layout by British design firm The Designers Republic.
