[@ancientking8771]

Been playing and listening to this game's music since 2011 in its late Beta, still is some of the best I have come across despite how much I have listened to it I will never get tired of it.

[@anoshiki11231]

The thing about Minecraft's soundtrack is that it isn't linear at all. You're playing the game without music, hearing only the nature around you... and then, out of nowhere, the ost starts playing, making these moments somewhat special, easier to remember. Relaxing, nostalgic and beautiful.

[@dioxide39]

its a fantastic way of embracing the soundtrack without it sounding repetitive too, which is a brilliant idea of taking everything slow.

[@zLeSshuhn]

that's when the repetitiveness of the motives comes to play but also as an album experience it works, One of my fav albums just for this alone, you can also appreciate it, with random tracklist

[@ZeldaMasterLogan]

I strongly agree with it being relaxing, nostalgic and special I can still remember the first time hearing Mice On Venus. It was either 2012 or 2013 and I had a bad day at School so when I got back home after doing my homework and ate dinner I was playing Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition and I was just walking around the TU11 world and the sun was starting to set so I stayed within the castle area due to light and little to no monsters spawning, then I got on top of the castle walls and went to where the lit netherrack with the flames was at and just looking up staring at the moon rising and seeing the stars with the faint sounds of the animals in the barn. I have no idea why but I felt a whole lot better after that but it's still one of those little fond memories I made when I was young playing Minecraft.

[@onraj7847]

Yeah, the idea of the game randomly introducing music was because the game wouldn't know where the player was or what he was doing so it would need to have music that could fit in any scenario and damn, C418 made some absolute masterpieces with this in mind

This game was so beautifully made and so cared for by what was just a handful of developers just shootin the shit. What you hear isn’t a linear soundtrack as you may know. Every song comes on at a almost specific/nonspecific time, The sunrise, the sunset, looking over the horizon for the world ahead of you, going underground in a depth unknown with unknown danger around you (which some are slightly different in game) this game didn’t give you story, you made your own story. It became something unfathomably big to the point a young kid at this time might not know what windows is, but they know what minecraft is. I will never forget playing this game till the AMs of the morning as a young boy and just that perfect song comes on with the birds chirping outside

[@isaakvandaalen3899]

Minecraft is a completely open-world game. It gives you a randomly generated natural world to explore and manipulate to your desires. C418, when composing for the game, had to figure out a way to write music that could be played at ANY time. Exploring an icy mountain? Diving to the bottom of the ocean? Wandering a desert? Delving deep into a cave? The music needed to fit any of these moments. What he settled on was having these atmospheric, stripped back tracks that give a sense of hope but also sadness. Lost and alone in a vast world, nobody to talk to, no goal other than those you set for yourself, these tracks randomly play throughout your exploration of the world. Sometimes, the music kicks in right as you put the finishing touches on your house, or stumble upon a gorgeous vista, and it really helps cement those memories and make them special.

[@_M41KU_]

It also helps with preventing the music to get repetitive. I could only imagine if it had a Mario overworld type soundtrack playing nonstop until you exit and enter another biome. For an open world game where you spend 100+ hours, an atmospheric ost was the best choice.

[@Zvxers7]

The fact that all of the songs (not the music discs since those need a jukebox) play on random, makes them not feel repetitive and every time they play, it's a different kind of experience for the player.

[@cassu6]

Honestly haven’t played Minecraft in ages and when I heard Mice on Venus, I had a picture come to my head of being like 10 years old and building a hotel with my friends and some randoms on this one server everyone in my country used to play on. Holy shit it’s been long, over 10 years already.

[@YounesLayachi]

yeah, pretty much everything in the game is randomised, and the player is free to do anything in almost whatever order they wish. it's probable that the same music might never play twice in the exact same situation , unless player decides to repeat the same task in the same location for hours non stop waiting for the music to play again

Subwoofer Lullaby... one of the first tracks you actually hear in-game. It hits me with such a bang of nostalgia. A hit of the good ol' days.

[@IronSK]

The tracks have no order. You probably just remember it as one of the first ones since it's a part of the first MC album.

[@haph2087]

​@@IronSK They are random, but tracks have restrictions on when they are played (notably gamemode, dimension, biome, and music discs), and Subwoofer Lullaby is able to play anywhere in the overworld without getting anything, so while it's no earlier than for example, Sweden (which also plays anywhere in the overworld), it is earlier than "Ballad of Cats" (which only plays in the Nether), and more likely to play first than "Infinite Amethyst" (which only plays in groves and dripstone caves). There are 4 songs that only play in the main menu, so those are more likely to be the first song you hear, but I presume junewars doesn't consider that "in game".

@@haph2087 Yeah i know.

Fun facts about these sondtracks A number of them aren't actually in-game like door for example, I think the reason was because C418 wanted to make the album a bit special The Track "cat" is actually unable to play randomly but it is played through an item that item is a music disc which is played through a jukebox also in-game cat & dog are both on the same disc There are 2 main gamemodes in minecraft survival and creative, the last track aria math only plays in creative mode This isn't the full ost there are some more, also about 99% of the tracks are passive but a few are somewhat overwhelming or unsettleing in a way that fits the area they play in (btw there are 3 dimensions in total the main one that is visible in the images on the videos are the overworld basically the main area)

[@XxPsionicGamerxX]

Subwoofer Lullaby, Living Mice and Haggstrom all take me back to such a wonderful period of my life when i had just discovered this game. Back when all the grass and trees had lime green color to them instead of the biome-specific colors they have now. Back when cobblestone blocks had that weird black border in them. When chests took up a full block and made the same opening/closing sounds as doors did. back when the player character still had that iconic OOF sound effect when getting hurt. Spam-clicking your bow, the old Creeper explosion sfx. I remember SO MUCH about this era of the game. Had many amazing memories with it aswell. Minecraft is a must recommend for ANYONE that wants to get into gaming. it's the perfect blend of combat, resource gathering, base building and exploration and is VERY beginner friendly.

[@thebradzone3922]

It's funny coming back to this video as your first glimpse into Minecraft now that your channel has a bunch of content related to it, it's truly a universal game. For me it's fun to look back at when I first played Minecraft and compare to where I am today, *still* playing it. I was 11 when I first played one of the initial releases of Minecraft , it was so wonderous and allowed for so much freedom it was literally like exploring a whole other world. Today I'm far more on the technical side of things yet still enjoying the game all the same. I've hosted servers, created mods, participated in building competitions and honestly, I accredit this game for the interest I took in programming and now my career as a computer scientist. I have met so many friends, created so many things, explored hundreds of worlds and enjoyed probably thousands and thousands of hours of content made by others on it. I don't think I'm alone when I say this game probably shaped a nice chunk of my later childhood. This game will forever hold a special place in my heart, a place I can always go to for that childlike wonderment and exploration even 14 years later.

It’s really interesting to watch people talk about minecraft and ask questions. It reminds me of when people first play dungeons and dragons. There are so many possibilities, it’s hard to comprehend before you actually get into all of it.

[@AmeliaPond.]

Minecraft is unique with it’s OST. Not every song made the “cut” to be put into the game. So some of the songs are not in the game at all. Fun Fact: The sounds the Ghasts make. Is the sound of one of the devs cats sleeping. ✌🏼

[@byza.rl_09]

Good choice for doing aria math and the end. Awesome track probably my favourite

[@ItsHelloThereYT]

Now all i need to see is his reaction to the song "Alpha" by C418

[@Brick_Soup]

This soundtrack makes me emotional every time i hear it

[@Rullisi]

I was so happy that youtube recommended me this. I love your insight and input and I really like the music Minecraft has, the old music and not the new stuff. I like nether tracks too and the credits screen. Subwoofer lillaby gives me this vibe of getting lost in the infinite world and not remembering where your house or base was. Mice on venus is my favorite with the bird-like tweeing at the end half. I think some of these like Door is not actually heard in-game anywhere or included in game files.

fun fact about Minecraft's OST, when Steve, the default character of Minecraft, was chosen to be a playable character in Super Smash Bros, a massive crossover fighting game, the composers for smash couldn't think of a way to cover Minecraft's iconic soundtrack respectfully while making it also work for a dramatic fight, so they had to pull songs from spinoff games, abandoned ports of the game to old consoles, and an AR Mobile game to actually build a playlist to fight to.

[@natsoph1924]

Which was so lame, because there are plenty of remixes already that show that Minecraft music can be fast paced and upbeat

[@LadyValishade]

What's amazing is I'll listen to thia soundtrack trying to help myself choose a favorite. A song wil come on and ill be like "oh yeah i think its that one!" Then the next song plays and i realize that I love that one just as much as the one before. It's impossible to choose for me and thats what makes this soundtrack so special, I love them all. Edit: I will say however. That "Sweden" still gives me chills ♡

[@XxTheMoBSteRxX1]

Age of Empires 2 from the 90s has an amazing soundtrack i can hear them in my head 20 years later 😆you should check it out.

[@CockatooDude]

Man I'm right there with you. That game has such an iconic soundtrack.

[@quindarius_bingleton]

The best thing about this is that there isn't music associated with a specific place in the game or thing thats happening, you create the moment and you create that association. Thats why people have such a strong nostalgic reaction to the music I think

[@imretrored]

Amazing soundtrack. I really hope I can catch one of these streams live. Would love to see you play this game would be interested to see what you would build :)

[@lostfan5054]

This was such a fun journey and analysis of some amazing music. Thank you for analyzing like this. It would be fun to see some vids of you performing the piano tracks like Wet Hands or Dry Hands. Btw, Aria Math is the best track.

13:16 Minecraft is a fantasy sandbox game that allows you to for the most part in Survival mode to drift from place to place or create some sort of settlement. You have a lot of conquests ahead of you if you want tio pursue you but for the most part, the game is what you make it. Minecraft was first released sometime in 2009 and it was Minecraft classic, it was a browser game and was later an application to be played on desktop but could still be played in the browser as Classic too. There were only these flat platforms you could play on and the servers you joined were on a list. There was the creative mode, Lava Survival, Lava Survival, and a Zomebie survival where you'd get hit by this patient zero playuer and your new task was to infect more players. That's all Minecrft was. Now were here to this more fleshed out survival game owned by microsoft bought from Markus Pseron who created the initial game is like a few days or something

[@pigeon4422]

49:50 wow in all my years of listening to this ost over and over again I never fully processed that lol

[@Toto-yj8hc]

This made my day reminiscing on the Minecraft soundtrack a game I’ve played since I was 10 years old and watching geebz enjoy it and discover it warms my soul

[@fiishy_3764]

I love this vid because not only are you listening to the amazing soundtrack, but you’re also learning about the game as you goes on. Keep it up!

[@benhudson6484]

A reaction to the rest of the minecraft ost (Beta Volume, Nether Update, Aquatic, etc) is a must. Great reaction as always!

[@ZoraEpsilon571]

hoooooly only 40 seconds in and I'm nearly at tears reliving childhood nostalgia with just the way it *sounds* like old memories older Minecraft music is just, better, period

[@Cornberry]

Sweden is like the epitome of nostalgia for anyone who's played the game.

[@bulldemon]

living mice just make me cry when i hear it, this is not a song its not only a game, its a feeling its a memory a part of my life i have been playing this game since i was 11! in 2011, im 23 now, and i remember playing Minecraft with my friends or alone, living mice was in the game since the beginning...

[@parsar.k.p1337]

Hey Geebz, I started playing Minecraft back in 2013 as a young child, and the game has become so much of my childhood that just listening to the music makes me tear up, remembering the old times I had, learning how to play, building things, exploring the world, and fighting enemies, for this reason, I thank you for checking Minecraft out. I also recommend listening to Volume Beta, it has some of my favourite music of all time, it also includes music that only plays during creative mode and are far longer (up to 8 minutes per piece, but there are less pieces), which have a far more different atmosphere. P.S. C418 did not publish Volume Beta onto KZbin, but he did compose it. You can find a Volume Beta playlist from somebody else on KZbin.

[@IroAppe]

I would love your reaction about the Beta volume. It's so interesting. My most favorite tracks actually come from there.

[@greenone41]

I had the feeling of really wanting to play it again, but sadly my graphics card in my pc died. Then I stumbled op on your video and it cured my sad mood! Thank you :D

[@machi4744]

man dry hands. shows its not just ambience. its there and it couldnt exist without this.

[@machi4744]

wet hands is like, yeah. always was.

[@denni8271]

The reason some viewers were not recognizing a few of the tracks is because Volume Alpha includes C418’s cut tracks as well as the ones he sent back to be put into the game.

[@rkhoundstudios]

My favorite music, its so calming and nostalgic

[@Fallen_Arrow]

What a great reaction! Loved watching this

[@GamerKaiden]

1:17:20 for Aria Math

[@piewar3076]

This game has such a nice soundtrack. Both volume alpha and volume beta are very different but are also both great. The game even has more things to show with the music discs and in particular stuff like thirteen, but all of the music is just amazing to me.

[@IvoryMadness.]

I saw the video in Twitch! It was really nice!
