Minecraft is a tool, a means of bringing the imagination to life. Minecraft is a community, a platform on which inventive minds of all ages can share their creations and ideas. Minecraft, of course, is also a game, the most popular and best-selling video game of all time. Created in 2009 by Swedish programmer Markus \"Notch\" Persson, this cultural phenomenon speaks volumes of our current zeitgeist's love for virtual spaces, but it's unprecedented success couldn't be pinned on one factor alone. Countless layers of thoughtful artistry flow through Minecraft's singular experience, not the least of which is it's transportive soundtrack by C418, the project of German composer and musician Daniel Rosenfeld. Minecraft Volume Alpha, the first installment of a two-part OST, helped breathe life into the game's voxel-based universe. Upon release, fans and critics were universally enamored with C418's beatless, nuanced electronic pieces. Popular gaming site Kotaku named it among The Best Game Music of 2011, calling the music \"remarkably soothing.\" The Guardian compared Rosenfeld's delicate piano and sparse ambient motifs to legendary artists Erik Satie and Brian Eno. Polygon distilled Volume Alpha to it's essence: \"It's not bound by the retro aesthetic of Minecraft's graphics. It transcends them. The album is an attempt to uplift the combined game\/music experience into the sublime.\"\r\n \r\nTracks\r\n1 Key\r\n2 Door\r\n3 Subwoofer Lullaby\r\n4 Death\r\n5 Living Mice\r\n6 Moog City\r\n7 Haggstrom\r\n8 Minecraft\r\n9 Oxygene\r\n10 Equinoxe\r\n11 Mice on Venus\r\n12 Dry Hands\r\n13 Wet Hands\r\n14 Clark\r\n15 Chris\r\n16 Thirteen\r\n17 Excuse\r\n18 Sweden\r\n19 Cat\r\n20 Dog\r\n21 Danny\r\n22 Beginning\r\n23 Droopy Likes Ricochet\r\n24 Droopy Likes Your Faceki\r\n25 Alpha\r\n26 Blind Spots\r\n27 Mutation\r\n28 Biome Fest\r\n29 Aria Math\r\n30 Taswell\r\n31 Beginning 2\r\n32 Moog City 2\r\n33 The End\r\n34 Kyoto\r\n35 Chirp\r\n36 Mellohi\r\n37 Stal\r\n38 Eleven\r\n39 Far\r\n40 Intro\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Cassette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2025-06-13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Cassette\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2025-06-13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Electronic\/Dance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Electronic\/Dance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"C418","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53421658898616,"sku":"PXNWB1-4AI5-42","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9222\/8280\/files\/c418-minecraft-alpha-beta-2-cassettes_e3Ud0.png?v=1777505213","url":"https:\/\/musicrecordshop.com\/products\/c418-minecraft-alpha-beta-2-cassettes","provider":"Music Record Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
