Music for Nitrous Oxide is the first studio album released by Stars of the Lid on Sedimental Records in 1995. The album features minimal, droning compositions of varying length. The press release from Sedimental Records read: “Sedimental announces the first CD from Austin drone stars Stars of the Lid, an amazing 4-track recording that is created in the spirit of Eno, Main and Spacemen 3. Produced without keyboards, this lo-fi ambient journey employs predominately [sic] guitar, avoiding typical rock elements while still possessing the ‘home’ recorded feel of so much independent music.”[1]

In 2009 Sedimental Records released a remastered version featuring updated artwork by Craig McCaffrey.[2]

Track two features a monologue from When Love Is Not Enough: The Lois Wilson Story.

Track four features an audio clip of Brent Spiner from the seventh season Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Force of Nature". Spiner's character Data is shown attempting to train his cat Spot not to jump onto his keyboard while he is working.

Track seven features an audio clip of C.H. Evans who played Jack in Hap's Diner, in David Lynch's film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me. Evans' line is: "Now, her name is Irene and it is night. Don't take it any further than that. There's nothin' good about it."
