Nah und Fern is a boxed set collecting the four albums released by Wolfgang Voigt under the Gas alias. Some tracks are shortened edits, and some are also subject to very slight alteration and remastering; Voigt noted around the time of release that the music seemed to resist attempts at cleaning up the recordings, with the muffled or lo-fi nature of some elements of the music forming an integral part of the characteristic Gas sound. The tracks were originally released on the label Mille Plateaux.[7][8] The albums start with 1996's self-titled album and end with 2000's Pop.[9] The album is filled with vague sounds recalling the ideals of minimalism.[10] The box set reached #13 on the Billboard Top World Music Albums chart.[11]
