Music for Nitrous Oxide is the debut 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.” Until 2025 the album was only ever available on the compact disc format. Released in standard jewel case by Sedimental in 1995 and reissued as a digipak with updated artwork in 2008. It was remastered and made available on the double vinyl record format by Artificial Pine Arch Manufacturing in summer of 2025. "Adamord" features an excerpt of a letter written by Alcoholics Anonymous co-founder Lois W., addressed to her husband.
