C418 - Minecraft Volume Beta

Marking the five year anniversary from its original vinyl release and following a mammoth Minecraft year, that saw the release of the global box-office-topping ‘A Minecraft Movie’ starring Jack Black and Jason Mamoa, Ghostly International are making an ultra-rare ‘Warp Speed’ vinyl variant of C418’s legendary video game soundtrack available for the first time at UK retail.

Originally self-released in 2013, Minecraft Volume Beta was C418’s longest batch of music to date at nearly 140 minutes. The collection features tracks that were “silently” added to Minecraft during its music updates and a few that never officially entered the game. The run time is now adapted to fit the double LP format, while digital downloads include the full set. Rosenfeld’s unmistakable abilities are on display; he creates a sweeping variety of musical ideas that mirror the limitless universe of Minecraft. Ghostly International is thrilled to give this unique collaboration its due treatment and hopes to see the creative inspiration which drives Minecraft and Rosenfeld continue to disperse by virtue of this unexpectedly universal music.
