{"product_id":"minecraft-volume-alpha-transparent-green-vinyl","title":"Minecraft Volume Alpha [Transparent Green Vinyl]","description":"\u003ch2\u003eC418-Minecraft Volume Alpha [Transparent Green Vinyl]\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinecraft is a dreamscape, a limitless world where anything is possible. Minecraft is a tool, a means of bringing the imagination to life. Minecraft is a community, a\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eplatform on which inventive minds of all ages can share their creations and ideas.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMinecraft, of course, is also a game, the most popular and best-selling video game\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eof all time. Originally created in 2009 by Swedish programmer Markus \"Notch\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePersson, this cultural phenomenon speaks volumes of our current zeitgeist's love\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003efor virtual spaces, but its unprecedented success couldn't be pinned on one factor\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ealone. Countless layers of thoughtful artistry flow through Minecraft's singular\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eexperience, not the least of which is its transportive soundtrack. And now for the\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003efirst time since releasing digitally in 2011, the music of Minecraft will be issued on\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003especial-edition vinyl and CD by Ghostly International.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMinecraft Volume Alpha is the work of German composer and musician Daniel\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRosenfeld. Using C418 as his moniker, Rosenfeld crafted the sweeping soundtrack\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eand vibrant sound design which helped breathe life into Minecraft's voxel-based\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003euniverse. Fans and critics were universally enamored with his beatless, nuanced\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eelectronic pieces upon release. Popular gaming site Kotaku named it among The\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBest Game Music of 2011, calling the music \"remarkably soothing,\" and The\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGuardian has compared Rosenfeld's delicate piano and sparse ambient motifs to\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003elegendary artists Erik Satie and Brian Eno. In an interview feature with C418,\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePolygon distilled Volume Alpha to its essence: \"It's not bound by the retro aesthetic\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eof Minecraft's graphics. It transcends them. The album is an attempt to uplift the\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ecombined game\/music experience into the sublime.\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBut for all of the critical praise, C418's crowning achievement has to be his\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003einsatiable fan base, the seemingly endless swath of players and listeners who treat\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehis music like gospel. They are exactly who this physical release of the Minecraft\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003esoundtrack was conceived for, though Ghostly hopes to bring Rosenfeld's music to\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ea whole new audience as well. As any cursory listen of the touching sounds will\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ereveal, this isn't a record meant solely for lifelong gamers and MineCon diehards;\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eanyone in love with ambient, neo-classical, or minimal music needs to hear Volume\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlpha.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFor the soundtrack's physical release, Ghostly has designed standard vinyl and CD\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003epackages around colorful artwork from the digital version. And there's a limitededition LP that brings some extra magic to the table. Record collectors and\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMinecraft completists take note: Only 1,000 copies of Volume Alpha will be pressed\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eon transparent green vinyl, arriving complete with a lenticular-printed jacket which\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003egives new depth and movement to the cover's 3D-rendered image. Ghostly is\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ethrilled to count this unique collaboration among its already eclectic catalog, and\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ehopes to see the creative inspiration which drives Minecraft and Rosenfeld continue\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eto disperse by virtue of their timeless music.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTRACKLIST - LP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA1.
