C418's timeless soundtrack to the hit video game Minecraft finally makes it to the vinyl format thanks to the good folks at Ghostly International. German composer Daniel Rosenfeld (aka C418) originally released this brilliant piece of work digitally back in 2011, and it has since become a cult favorite (along with the game, which is now the most popular and best-selling game of all time). The spacious and dreamy soundscapes are the perfect backdrop to the games endless creative possibilites. Volume Alpha contains the first half of the soundtrack, with the second to come in the near future. 12 tracks in all - not just for fans of the game, but for anyone who loves ambient, neo-classical, or minimal music. Recommended.
