MINECRAFT VOLUME BETA

Product Information

In 2015, after quietly self-releasing Minecraft Volume Alpha and Minecraft Volume Beta, Rosenfeld partnered with Ghostly International to reissue Minecraft Volume Alpha on vinyl and CD.

For the legion of listeners and players to, at long last, have Minecraft Volume Beta in tangible formats. Featuring the all-new creative mode, menu tunes, the horrors of the nether, the end's odd and misleading soothing ambiance and all the missing record discs from the game! Some songs have some kind of distorsion that makes them unpleasant to listen to, but most of the songs are ok. Since The End is also the final stage the player has to go to to “beat” the game, this piece contains a lot of references to past songs. Every time I think about this album, I get nostalgic about Mexico and how wildly different it is from the life I know from Germany or Canada.The latter element has broken from the “8-bit” pigeonholing of game music and earned him accolades that reference artists like Erik Satie (The Guardian) and Brian Eno (VICE). Whether you're a long-time player or new to the game, the Minecraft Volume Beta soundtrack on vinyl offers a unique and immersive listening experience that will transport you back to the pixelated landscapes of Minecraft. Originally self-released in 2013, Minecraft Volume Beta was C418’s longest batch of music to date at nearly 140 minutes.

This song tries to play with the idea that even hell isn’t all bad, and there’s good things to be found. Recuerdo esos días donde hacía casitas en mundos planos en el modo creativo y escuchar de repente Haunt Muskie. On some vinyl pressings, lenticular printing is used to give depth to the blocks in the image and highlight the inner grass block. As C418, composer and producer Daniel Rosenfeld designs sounds to resonate in both physical and pixelated realms.

In August 2020, record label Ghostly released the first physical versions of the album, in CD and LP formats.
