OST Minecraft Volume Alpha (by C418)

Description

Transparent Green Vinyl LP

German composer and musician Daniel Rosenfeld (aka C418) crafted the sweeping soundtrack and vibrant sound design that helped breathe life into Minecrafts voxel-based universe. Fans and critics were universally enamored with his beatless, nuanced electronic pieces upon release. Popular gaming site Kotaku named it among the Best Game Music of 2011, calling the music remarkably soothing, and The Guardian has compared Rosenfelds delicate piano and sparse ambient motifs to legendary artists Erik Satie and Brian Eno. In an interview feature with Rosenfeld, Polygon distilled Minecraft Volume Alpha to its essence: Its not bound by the retro aesthetic of Minecrafts graphics. It transcends them. The album is an attempt to uplift the combined game/music experience into the sublime.
