There’s a finished third Minecraft album that c418 intended to release but he couldn’t come to an agreement with Microsoft on who should own the masters for it, now he legally can’t release it due to issues with Mojang despite being the original composer. It’s sad as hell because it’s rumoured to be longer then both Alpha and Beta combined (over 3 hours) and would be “more ambient then ever” but due to Microsoft’s greed as a company it’s now locked in the vault for the foreseeable future, but I hope we one day get to hear it

The amount of fans of certain games call this like say New Jack Swing "Sonic CD music" is just telling and cringe. Maybe it's just me, but I just get tired of hearing the same track from a known game over n over again, as catchy they be. And yeah to make fun of it for being from a game is just bleh. I get it, stereotypically vg music is super energetic turned up to max but we're gonna have exceptions anyway! Cause like if game OSTs are just music, Film scores/soundtracks are music as well. And I get it for u people, u don't like filmlike soundtracks in games, but I think they still have a place. Isn't Minecraft kinda on that quality? If so transcending film and games altogether?

[@kb-omni]

Since there's some confusion about the tracks, here's a bit of info about where they show up in-game: - Majority of the Volume Alpha tracks are somehow centered around survival mode. I say "somehow centered" because not all of them are actual survival themes. You probably noticed that a lot of tracks are paired and placed next to each other (Key and Door, Cat and Dog, Oxygene and Equinoxe, etc) and that's because majority of those pairs have one track that's used in game while the other is EXCLUSIVE to the soundtrack and will never play. - There are some outliers, the main one i want to mention being that Thirteen and Cat are both music disc themes (and Dog is the ost-exclusive version of Cat) I also HIGHLY recommend Beta!!!! It is much more of a dynamic listen but feels just as cohesive as Alpha imo because of the tracklisting. Beta contains: - The creative mode themes - The nether themes, pre nether update* - The menu themes - (Maybe some survival?? Lol i dont remember tbh i doubt it) - All the other music discs - A bunch of outliers (Credits theme, The End theme, a great exclusive closer in similar vain to Beginning) * Additional context for the curious: The Nether is a dimension stylized like MC's version of hell. Since it was added it had minimal changes throughout the game's updates, being very empty and barren. Eventually there was an update dedicated to making the nether much more flexible and balanced in comparison to the overworld by adding new structures ores and biomes. Because of the massive change in scenery, a whole new set of tracks was made by Lena Raine. Both Nether soundtracks are awesome and accurately depict their version of The Nether.

[@mrscardycreeper8972]

Glad Brad liked Mice On Venus as much as I did. The whole album is great, aside from some iffy inclusions, but Mice On Venus just HITS different. It's both playful and sad, as if you and your best friend are the last humans in existence and you get to go inside wherever and do whatever you want. I think it encapsulates the nostalgic feeling most people have with Minecraft while also just being a dang good song in general.

It’s 2010. I just leaned how to log into my router so I could IP forward my friends into a server I just figured out how to host. Life is good.

freakin enjoyed that so much. god tier energy. so glad I came across tttheyir video. Btw I can't wait to see your genuine reaction to October Ends' new song 🤘

[@ashtonnnr9002]

bro you have to listen to volume beta now. in my opinion it blows this outta the water w the layered sounds and catchy melodies

[@ronylouis0]

i wonder if brad caught on to Oxygène and Equinoxe being references to jean michel jarre's albums. he should give him a listen at some point, really iconic guy

[@distopiann0]

Please listen to Volume Beta, in my opinion it is even better. I love Volume Alpha, but I think Beta is just even more consistently gorgeous. It also has some incredibly long tracks that are some of the most complete feeling tracks ive ever heard.

Didn’t expect this to be a video, what a pleasant surprise

[@herbiek4922]

Unrelated but profile pics like these are still hilarious

[@strawberrypostpavilion]

oh, look. brad discovered real music.

[@starsilverinfinity]

I sincerely hope that we work through all of Minecrafts music on here - its all so good

[@plutonicgnat115cool5]

Need volume beta next. Taswell aria math and ballad of the cats are all so incredible

Just finished my masters thesis so this reaction actually feels very fitting for me right now.
