Both Alpha and Beta are hauntingly beautiful. Perfect soundtracks for vinyl.

I hope C418 gets permission to release the long-completed 3rd volume.

Long, sad story short, Microsoft bought Minecraft while C418 was working on a third set of songs for the game. But Microsoft wouldn’t honor his existing contract with Mojang (C418 retains ownership of all of his music). So Microsoft hired a bunch of other artists to make new music (all really good, but not C418). Due to legal issues, C418 cannot release the new music he wrote for Minecraft in any capacity without losing ownership of it. So it all remains unreleased to this day.

Fantastic set of tracks for chilling or doing some work. There are a couple of odd tracks but most are fantastic, they often hit me wirh a nice vibe of nostalgia.

Didn't know there was a vinyl though, now I'm curious what it is like, as the originals were digital music.

A really great ambient album, a perfect match to the game and immersive as hell. I have it on my wishlist, too!
