it fills me with an "epic journey" kind of thing just to see how far one can push minecraft before they literally cant go farther. I have seen people with MASSIVE worlds just look up dataless822 or ethoslab those people are heroes and legends in my heart
I like "The End" starting with an Overworld theme, cracling and popping, slowly distorting and turning into more haunted version. Then the playback "fails" and turns into quite dark ambient. I love that...
Gabriel Maisonet C418's track titles usually don't make sense, it's almost like he takes random words going through his mind and just goes with them. It doesn't get more ambiguous than "droopy likes your face".
+chatoyantreflex the names, if you think about it, do make sense. ki is the sequel song to key, because in a way ki does sound like key if you say it a certain way. the background is the same for both pieces. droopy likes your face is droopy saying 'DrOoPy LiKeZ YoUr FaCe' like whoever's singing it is on crack.
I think he picks them sort of randomly too, but I think they do make sense. Maybe just not to us. He always puts hidden messages in there somewhere and let's your imagination do the rest.
I think I know what he means. Since Daniel, the artist, is german, Ki is probably a direct reference to Key. In german, "Ki" would be pronounced exactly like english speakers pronounce "Key". So therefor it's actually the same...
I NEVER mute the soundtrack in Minecraft. ----- You put down that brick you just crafted after hours of work. Finally, the road to your castle is finished. A worthy place to live! Now to go inside and bestow upon your work. ...And suddenly the soundtrack plays. Beautiful. This makes Minecraft pretty fucking magical.
Donnerbalken yeah I don't get it but my friend says he always plays with music of I don't get it it makes the game so much better and it kinda feels boring when it's off
I find it amazing how Minecraft seems to always know exactly when it should play a song, and what song to play. When I go into a cave, a creepy song usually begins to play. When I find something awesome, that creepy song becomes a completely different exciting tune. You'll begin building some huge castle, and creative music will play which helps you build a better looking castle. You finally place the last block of it and look up at what you've created, and the music becomes happy, as though you've accomplished something amazing (Which you have. ). Like... HOW DOES IT KNOW?!?!?!? It's perfect!!!
Our minds adapt to fit to a situation we want to "think" music for most people affects mood and emotions; we change the music in our mind to fit an emotion we desire equalling a great feeling and a damn good game :)
Well, it's either just your imagination perceiving a regular song as exciting/eerie or it's specifically coded into the game. Looking at the sound files you'll notice some of those songs are named like "creative1.ogg" so it's entirely possible that it's coded specifically.
Grammar Nazi Yeah... it's actually our imagination, believe it or not! Minecraft is just coded to play a random song at sunrise, noon, sunset, and midnight in game-time. It's not coded, from what I'm aware at least, to play songs on an occasion. But it's still uncanny how it always seems to know just what it should play, huh?
Couple of things: 1) I love that "The End" is in the middle of the album. :) 2) This music makes the game. I thought Minecraft was a simplistic kids game until my son bought it for Xbox 360 and brought it to my house. I was absolutely gobsmacked by the beauty of the music, and now I listen to it all the time. It's ideal for when I'm designing and need something beautiful to listen to that doesn't require my undivided attention. 3) This winter I took an odd job delivering flyers, and did all of my delivering at night. My route covered roughly 30 city blocks. It was snowy (Minnesota is always snowy in winter), and this album was the perfect soundtrack as I walked along the frosted sidewalks, especially "The End," "Flake," and "Haunt Muskie." It turned an average urban neighbourhood into a beautiful, snow-encrusted dreamland.
Can't agree more. The nice thing about video game music is that it was designed to provide stimulating background that keeps you going without messing with your concentration too much - especially the nice, slow, ambient ones. There's some good work in here. And I do believe that putting "the Intro" at the end is a deliberate choice. Wonder what its meaning is.
Totally! I'm a digital designer, and I listen to this stuff all the time when I'm working. I always feel like I'm exploring space when I listen to this.
This album caresses the tender parts of my soul that is left untouched by the hatred of man and reserved only for the pureness of music itself. Thank you.
Idc that the music is part of a game, I just love electronic music, this kind of is, Well it has an electronic feel to it, And Your point is 100% true :33
I somewhat miss the Alpha music, but at the same time, how can I not like this music? C418 is creating better and better music for Minecraft, and he deserves so many props, because in my mid, he is what brings it all together.... Minecraft would not be the same without your art C418, so thank you.
@@juanvazquez5836 Key, Subwoofer Lullaby, Haggstrom, Minecraft, Oxygene, Sweden, Clark, Danny, Wet Hands, Dry Hands, Living Mice and Mice on Venus play during gameplay. 11 and 13 are disks. The other Alpha music is album-exclusive
When I hear Alpha (and you might want to follow along slowly with the music), I think of two young travelers settling down in a forest on top of a cliff that has a beautiful view of the sunset. One day, the young man has to leave his wife for a while to find something. He is reluctant to leave and he knows that she will miss him, and that he may not ever come back. He leaves... But soon after, as he is marching along, he can't help but think about her. He looks back, of course she isn't there, but... He can't help but feel like she's calling to him. She is! And as they reunite, they promise they will never leave eachother, no matter what. So they grab their horses and go on an adventure...together. The day is ending, and our two travelers sit down and admire the night sky... The journey has many perils... But they rode along...never turning back. And so...they ride along...the story of these travelers was completely made up from my imagination...just like most everything is in minecraft...just made up...into something beautiful...
To me, I see myself, or any other player back in the alpha stages who hears of Minecraft from someone and tries it out. At first it's a mysterious and vast world, that first world you created and you're just alone with a world all for yourself. The first small steps, the era of dirt houses and taking several days before you came across your first ores of iron. Then it ramps up when you're getting more and more in the hang of it, you follow through every update, you browse around on forums, you amass a whole network of friends, become a regular on your favorite servers. You can create skins, you have comprehension on handling various tools, start trying out mods or even create any yourself. You realize you've become a part of Minecraft, part of the whole long road up to this day and counting. Then when it tones down, it represents the stages when(or if) you just don't play as much no more, and you can reflect back on your memories of the grand adventure you had following this game from it's roots. I, myself, am proud to have been part of that journey.
When I heard Alpha I sorta thought about the sort of trailer for Sid Meier's Civ 5 and expanding too see the world and becoming more advanced until they went to space and to ALPHA Centauri (Closest Galaxy to ours)
The End is so sad, but beautiful. It makes me feel nostalgic about the time I spent playing the game with friends. The echoed melodies playing in the background really makes it like an old memory, that you are trying to remember really hard. C418 was the best choice as an artist to make this game come to life.
24:43 Moog City 2... Reminds me of... The days of when I'd hop on the 360 and greet my friends in our favorite city survival world, The days of us goofing around The days of no worry The days I'd rush my homework to escape into this blocky world The days of greeting my dogs and walking around my worlds The days of being afraid of mobs The days of... my childhood, Thank you Minecraft...
People say the reason Minecraft sucks is because of the updates. In reality what you are nostalgic about is your FIRST experience in Minecraft. That time you almost died at night, or that time you had to runaway from skeletons kicking your a**. But now you have learned everything about the game. You are no longer a noob, you can now do things better, faster. You now know how to kill skeletons or avoid creepers. This is what you are missing, the times you were a noob. Switching to an older version isn't going to help.
That soul moment when you first started the game up in alpha and heard the sound of minecraft music while you played... You just cant forget that feeling of longing for and epic Qwest and building to your harts content. :)
My Top 5 Favorite Songs off of the album. 1. Taswell 2. Blind Spots 3. Dreiton 4. Aria Math 5. Ki As you can tell I build a lot in creative as 3 of these tracks play when you're in creative mode
Mine would be… 1. Taswell (Let’s go we have the same favorite!!) 2. Dreiton 3. The End 4. Alpha 5. Dead Voxel Also I play creative mode often too because I was never that great at survival and Blind Spots was the first one I remember hearing. It’s actually playing as I’m writing this.
Dead Voxel is definitely the best because it's so deep, dark, and lost. Whenever I hear it I feel emotionless and empty, almost like I am in the Nether. I love the emptiness of most of these songs and the piano, truly beautiful. The End is also iconic because of the glitch sounds and the almost dead feeling to it. I love Minecraft and C418 is amazing.
I'm a composer, and I just can't figure out what makes this music so magical. There really is nothing out there like this. I think the music is what transforms the game, I don't know how people play without it. Also, if I could favorite all of these comments I would. We're all a unique group of people who love this music.
chirp sounds like the song that would play during a really shenaniganny end of a serious and dramatic game. like at the end of the last of us you just find out that joel is secretly an eggplant and ellie is a catgirl in some really obscure anime.
The feeling that this music gives me is like no other; I almost stop myself and call it art instead. It is indeed like a beautiful mural, one that would fit alongside the marvelous wonders of nature. The shining sunset, the drizzling rain, the swaying forest. All of the wonders of Nature are nearly unmatched in magnificence, but we have come astonishingly close to matching their beauty. In poetry. In art. In music, such as this. I don't love many things, but I love, and I do mean love, the Soundtracks produced by C418. They are simply unbelievable.
Taswell is a song that after its tone switch becomes so happy and bubbly that I genuinely can’t help but feel uplifted by it. A song that makes me feel so hopeful for the future and happy for the past and yet not a word is uttered in it. Truly masterpiece material in this volume.
When I listen to Ki and the last part of Alpha, I feel so small in this huge cosmos. I feel like I am laying on a field in the middle of the night, with all the stars and the whole galaxy in front of my eyes. I feel like floating through time and space, realizing how meaningless so many of our worries are.
I just want to say THANK YOU for having an awesome put together soundtrack. I've been listening to this all semester when im doing homework. It reminds me of someone dear to me, which also helps keep me going.
* salty rant incoming * Unfortunately for humanity, the developers at Mojang have decided to, instead of refining the building and creative aspects of the game, focus on PvP and fighting. With the upcoming 1.9 Combat Update and the various mechanics already in-game, we might as well rename Minecraft to "AdventureCombat." Whereas before, in your words, players can "be God," we're devolving to the squabbling mortals we've always been.
+Jonathan Estevam Who dat fuck is this Alex guy? I played this game right from the start and only stopped in 1.7.2 beta though, they put what was basically a mod into Minecraft....
It’s someone scratching a record. Fun fact: The 1.16 sounds were made mostly with a balloon, if you don’t watch Minecraft’s UA-cam channel for updates.
So I am in love with #19 "The End" as many of you are, but specifically between 1:36:54 and 1:39:00. That kinda "void feeling part" Does anyone have song suggestions for me? I need more!!!
After all these years, the one that strikes me the most out of this album is Intro. 2:14:56 This passionate, heart felt and soul displacing melody that pulls you into listening and humming along, feelings of pain, hurt, loss, but also feelings of reminiscences, nostalgia, and times since past, like a Minecraft world you've long since stopped playing and have left in an outdated version to never be updated again, but that story having finished and a new chapter being played out around it in adjacent worlds. I feel the song dares you to remember, the dog you left in that house, how many details you can remember yet it's the simple things you forget, like where you placed your house, why you put it there, how you felt at that time. I have a Minecraft world that I started all the way back in Alpha, I had my father then, he wasn't a good man but he was still My dad, I remember trying to learn red stone and how to use pistons when I got a call that made me drop everything, his last voice mail on my phone is all I thought I had left, but I remembered that world, I copied it and updated it, I realized as I walked past all the things I made stood out a, rather cappily made structure, I remember showing my dad Minecraft and I asked him to build something, this song makes me think of that very moment I saw it again, even after all these years later it hurt more than anything, to remember such an innocent and happy moment of my dad, I later deleted that updated version of the world, and now the old un-updated version sits quietly in my backups. Minecraft was able to give me something incredible back, something I didn't know I needed to see or feel, something, someone, I lost a very long time ago...
Oh my god... these are all absolutely gorgeous, I especially love the tranquility yet determination the Alpha songs bring. It is as though I am in eternal peace, though there is the occasional challenge which arises which is an inevitable encumbrance, yet at the same time it steams in some sort of motivation to continue building, one block at a time.
This is what I see: - I see Zombies and Villagers at play, - I see Iron and Snow Golems having fun, -I see the sheep, wolves, rabbits, and skeletons at their best enjoyment, -I see creepers and ocelots hugging, -I see Dragons, Withers, and Guardians playing, synchronizing their sounds together, -I see Parrots and Bats flying together, -I see Shulkers and Endermen helping each other, -I see Zombie Pigmen and Wither Skeletons racing, -I see Cows and Pigs and chickens grazing in the distance, -I see the leaves, grass, flowers, and the water moving, -I see the sky turning purple, and both the Sun and Moon meet in the middle, -I see the Ghasts and Blazes flying happily together, -I see Slimes and Magma Cubes hopping and jumping around, -I see dirt, stone, wood and sand, even clouds came to join in, -I see Players and Witches playing together, -I see... Peace and happiness, and with a tear in my eye, I'm not afraid to say, I am too...
i think one reason i adore minecraft music is because of its lack of lyrics. it lets you chisel your own story into the songs you hear, without the inaccuracies of someone else’s words over top of the melody most lyrical songs regarding experiences (love, happiness, depression, etc) have their own specific story that the artist incorporated, and even though the song may be good, it doesn’t match the listener’s story exactly perfect. but when you listen to a song without lyrics, you can imagine it exactly to your own story. It lets the music impact you way more… and i find that beautiful
It’s because it’s not officially in the game except on console in the holiday mash up pack where you also get flake, but yeah it’s extremely underrated.
That transition isn't in the actual album tho. This one's edited, so props to whoever uploaded this. The original "The End" ends with a distorted fragment of the main Minecraft theme in a loop, before cutting off in complete silence
FYI to the people who are searching around Minecraft to listen to these awesome music; A quiet place in the nether (such as above the bedrocks) will provide you with some of the creepy musics. Also, Minecraft musics usually start playing at sun rise and sun set. Hope this helps! -Pak
My favorite is Blind Spots. So beautiful. I love the piano in it. I actually fist heard it while I was building an underwater city out of Nether Quartz... It was like Atlantis, and it just clicked perfectly.
I love this soundtrack so much. Like this album is more for the "adventurer who's goal is to beat the ender dragon" and the Alpha volume is more for the builders who like to play on creative.
how is no one talking about the masterpiece that is intro? the loneliness encoded in every bits of this piece?? hello??? it slaps like a fucking spatula
Everybody here is complaining about the new Minecraft being bad and how it's not original. Well you guys are just nostalgia blind. If they didn't add anything past alpha then everybody would be bitching about how they need to add more stuff to the game, and everybody would vote the game down, complaining about how they are running out of ideas. Now I do agree, something's that were added were unnecessary, but when Notch added Lapis nobody was complaining about how it needed a purpose, they kept on playing for the pure fun about it, because the thrill of imagination is better than finding a purpose for everything. And some people say that they want Minecraft to just be like Alpha, and not have as many "confusing" biomes. Well what if I told you this, what is more fun. Standing around in a plain with nothing to explore, or stand around in a world, with everything to explore. It seems simple to explain. Take my example on this way, if you had to live in a world with nothing interesting added in, would you have fun, or would you not?
Honestly, the only major change that made Minecraft lose its magic for me was the land generation past beta 1.8. I can deal with wings, llamas, and a new End fight/biome (I do like most of the new stuff), but when the land generation is consistently boring to traverse and to build on, I draw the line. Thankfully the relatively recent preset feature can bring back the old beta terrain into modern Minecraft. Old generation + newest version is the way I’ve been playing for a while and I’m loving it.
I’ve been playing since 2015 and I think it has improved. I’m not from 2010 or anything, but adding new mobs, biomes and physics is definitely interesting. Minecraft has to progress more, and if it didn’t, the game would be even less popular than now
While my experience was with the Pocket Edition(now Bedrock Edition) I understand the nostalgia. Sometimes I long for the days when I built 16-story wooden skyscrapers... and sometimes I'm just happy with what we have.
@@StarShade0i don't have much to add to the topic, i just wanted to say that the look and feel of the world generations is one of the things that i miss the most. also, remember when you had to truly secure your house so you could sleep? or when mobs like creepers and skeletons could dodge attacks? or when ores were more rare but a lot more rewarding to find? i want those back. i never played on large multiplayer servers in b1.7.3 back when i knew the game, because i never had a chance to buy a copy of it (and in October 2010 it will be a decade since i first heard of this game), and i still can't (hopefully it will change before then), but i really wish to play in the large city servers that i have heard of, where everyone just contributed to each other peacefully and where interacting that way could feel more personal. i still hope that Mojang can still put the game back at the top by managing to bring back the feelings for the game that most people here had back in Beta. the point where the game lost its shine is blurry though, but i still think that it is possible to pull that off... ..if not, i still look forward to playing Blockscape someday, that game is growing slowly but steadily, and it's beautiful. thank you for reading my rambling i guess
Wilker I do miss those things too. Enemies are a joke a lot of the time, except when the game spawns packs of them at a time in a quantity > quality fashion (seriously, the AI feels more simple, but they gang up so quickly). Ores I don’t think lost their value because of the updates per say, but because the players like you and I have just gotten better and spelunking. When was the last time you explored without a water bucket for instance? I can’t comment on the big servers because I’ve never liked them, especially now that they’re all minigame hubs. I’ve always wished there was a small community city server out there too, but I never found one and I just stood with single player. I don’t know if Mojang will address much concerning that core feeling with how these updates favor new stuff, but I too hope they do something. I just don’t know what.
alpha feels like a representation of the memories of the old days of minecraft old just fresh made after the game updated past, only yesterday's memories before they became the antiquated relics they would become later.
i was and old Mc player... i played it until update 1.2.3... was an awesome game, alpha is one of the most beautifull album i heard in my life... perhaps i dont listen to it so much but it is awesome... some months ago i returned to the game... it is almost a completely new game for me, in spite of being the same graphics style.. i hated most of the things... i felt confused and overwhelmed of how everything changed... but this... i cant hate this soundtrack.. god... is a master piece.... "alpha" is a song that demonstrate you that it is not only listen to the rithmyc... you have to enjoy every detail put in the song and feel it with you ears.. your skin... your mind... your imagination... it is real art....
Jhonas Hernandez, if you don't want to use any of the new features, no one is making you do them. The reason why they added so many features is so that you can choose what kinda game you wanna play. You wanna be a builder? We got Creative mode and my blocks so no problem. You wanna be an explorer? Survival Mode, underwater temples, woodland mansions, desert temples, many biomes, mesa mineshafts, lots of other goodies, no problem! You wanna be an original style Minecrafter? Then don't go to the End. Don't make a shield. Don't enchant armor. Don't carry your food in a stack. Don't go to the Nether. Don't make a Wither. Don't brew potions. Don't make noteblocks. Don't make redstone contraptions. Minecraft is like many games in one. There are people who build marvelous creations. There are people who play single player survival. There are people who compose music with noteblocks. Minecraft covers a wide range of buyers, players, and communities, and that is what makes it so popular. The game wasn't designed to have just the features you like, sir. It was designed to have lots of features so that a player can play the game he wants to play.
There's something notable on all of C418's works, not just the Minecraft soundtrack. I'm not sure how best to describe it. It almost has a certain posture to it, a pride that has become melancholy after some humbling event, we have no clue what, but it's beautiful.
its snowing where i live in England at the moment. its only just started and we have 6 inches already. its 10:30PM but you wouldn't be able to tell as the sky is as pale as the blanketed snow. im sat back in my chair, sipping on a nice warm coffee enjoying a book. C418 - Beta is what i've devoted my ears to for this afternoon. so relaxed i feel as though i could die and still not give a single care.
I love this game so much.. I've had it since the Alpha days on computer. The first night I bought this game I was on it for 14 hours STRAIGHT. You could say I had an addiction. This game speaks to me on so many levels and I've invested SO much of my time into it. I'm so thankful for this game. This soundtrack just makes me so happy. Thank you for creating this. *Thumbs up*

But why
Gabriel Maisonet C418's track titles usually don't make sense, it's almost like he takes random words going through his mind and just goes with them. It doesn't get more ambiguous than "droopy likes your face".

+chatoyantreflex the names, if you think about it, do make sense. ki is the sequel song to key, because in a way ki does sound like key if you say it a certain way. the background is the same for both pieces. droopy likes your face is droopy saying 'DrOoPy LiKeZ YoUr FaCe' like whoever's singing it is on crack.
I think he picks them sort of randomly too, but I think they do make sense. Maybe just not to us. He always puts hidden messages in there somewhere and let's your imagination do the rest.

Grammar Nazi Only a few songs are coded to be played at a specific times. THe Nether tracks, The End, Title, and creative

But it's still uncanny how it always seems to know just what it should play, huh?
Radfordhound Minecraft becoming self-aware?

It turned an average urban neighbourhood into a beautiful, snow-encrusted dreamland.
also the fact that "the intro" is at the end!
i think 'The End' is a reference to the end, the dimension in minecraft
Can't agree more. The nice thing about video game music is that it was designed to provide stimulating background that keeps you going without messing with your concentration too much - especially the nice, slow, ambient ones. There's some good work in here. And I do believe that putting "the Intro" at the end is a deliberate choice. Wonder what its meaning is.
Totally! I'm a digital designer, and I listen to this stuff all the time when I'm working. I always feel like I'm exploring space when I listen to this.

Indeed!
0:00 - 2:19:34 *
The first second of the video, meh
Oh, so the first second wasn't as good?
Yeah, I hated the first second though, terrible
This album caresses the tender parts of my soul that is left untouched by the hatred of man and reserved only for the pureness of music itself. Thank you.
I hope you don't mind if I agree with you with the entirety of my being.
Not at all.
Idc that the music is part of a game, I just love electronic music, this kind of is, Well it has an electronic feel to it, And Your point is 100% true :33
thank you
I still prefer Daft Punk though :3333333
This is the only 2 hour+ video I've been able to watch until the end. Just finished it now and I feel enlightened. Merry Christmas everyone :)
6 years ah

Moog city part of alpha: _everyhing
I somewhat miss the Alpha music, but at the same time, how can I not like this music? C418 is creating better and better music for Minecraft, and he deserves so many props, because in my mid, he is what brings it all together.... Minecraft would not be the same without your art C418, so thank you.
Some of the Alpha music is still there. Moog City still plays and a couple others that I forgot the nanes of.
I'm pretty sure Alpha music still plays. If I recall correctly you can still hear Minecraft, Sweden, Haggstrom, Moog City, Clark, etc
@@juanvazquez5836 Key, Subwoofer Lullaby, Haggstrom, Minecraft, Oxygene, Sweden, Clark, Danny, Wet Hands, Dry Hands, Living Mice and Mice on Venus play during gameplay. 11 and 13 are disks. The other Alpha music is album-exclusive
@@cookieguy9885 so all of the full songs are in the game but not stuff like door
6 years ago...damn
When I hear Alpha (and you might want to follow along slowly with the music), I think of two young travelers settling down in a forest on top of a cliff that has a beautiful view of the sunset. One day, the young man has to leave his wife for a while to find something. He is reluctant to leave and he knows that she will miss him, and that he may not ever come back. He leaves... But soon after, as he is marching along, he can't help but think about her. He looks back, of course she isn't there, but... He can't help but feel like she's calling to him. She is! And as they reunite, they promise they will never leave eachother, no matter what. So they grab their horses and go on an adventure...together. The day is ending, and our two travelers sit down and admire the night sky... The journey has many perils... But they rode along...never turning back. And so...they ride along...the story of these travelers was completely made up from my imagination...just like most everything is in minecraft...just made up...into something beautiful...
I got the same reaction. Not exactly your reaction, but I thought of two friends going on an adventure to see the world.
:,)
i also make stories with the music!
To me, I see myself, or any other player back in the alpha stages who hears of Minecraft from someone and tries it out.
At first it's a mysterious and vast world, that first world you created and you're just alone with a world all for yourself. The first small steps, the era of dirt houses and taking several days before you came across your first ores of iron.
Then it ramps up when you're getting more and more in the hang of it, you follow through every update, you browse around on forums, you amass a whole network of friends, become a regular on your favorite servers. You can create skins, you have comprehension on handling various tools, start trying out mods or even create any yourself.
You realize you've become a part of Minecraft, part of the whole long road up to this day and counting.
Then when it tones down, it represents the stages when(or if) you just don't play as much no more, and you can reflect back on your memories of the grand adventure you had following this game from it's roots.
I, myself, am proud to have been part of that journey.
When I heard Alpha I sorta thought about the sort of trailer for Sid Meier's Civ 5 and expanding too see the world and becoming more advanced until they went to space and to ALPHA Centauri (Closest Galaxy to ours)
I have no idea why I haven't seen a single comment complimenting End.It's one of the most come to-reality songs,I've ever heard.
Ikr
While that's partially true,you should listen to it fully.In the beginning it's exactly that,but by the end you've gone through a misty eye trip.
Listening to it now. It's awesome!
The End is so sad, but beautiful. It makes me feel nostalgic about the time I spent playing the game with friends. The echoed melodies playing in the background really makes it like an old memory, that you are trying to remember really hard. C418 was the best choice as an artist to make this game come to life.
I like The End.

Reminds me of...
The days of when I'd hop on the 360 and greet my friends in our favorite city survival world,
The days of us goofing around
The days of no worry
The days I'd rush my homework to escape into this blocky world
The days of greeting my dogs and walking around my worlds
The days of being afraid of mobs
The days of... my childhood, Thank you Minecraft...

In the future I hope this is something that you’d pay to watch in a giant theatre hall and watch the people playing live perform
i'd pay so much to see that
Yes!!
Listening to this while watching it snowing outside, best moment oDo
good idea!!, ill have to try that thx :3
I actually often think of it snowing outside when listening to minecraft sountracks. 2011 was the good old days
it doesnt snow here rip

Flake or Kyoto?
Alpha is so magical
IKR
yes
Yea, I don't like beta music
yes they are
David Sinca yeah I think that's what he meant
People say the reason Minecraft sucks is because of the updates. In reality what you are nostalgic about is your FIRST experience in Minecraft. That time you almost died at night, or that time you had to runaway from skeletons kicking your a**. But now you have learned everything about the game. You are no longer a noob, you can now do things better, faster. You now know how to kill skeletons or avoid creepers. This is what you are missing, the times you were a noob. Switching to an older version isn't going to help.
Oh this comment again!
+TBS Studios yhea i remember when i first started im not lying. I didnt know how to place blocks. Now i know basically everything in the game
§§§
+TBS Studios ok... ill stop playing minecraft for a LONG time, then i might be a noob again! i think....
Oh the nostalgia of reading THIS kind of comment for the first time T_T
That soul moment when you first started the game up in alpha and heard the sound of minecraft music while you played... You just cant forget that feeling of longing for and epic Qwest and building to your harts content. :)
Moog City 2 is the song that used to play in Minecraft PS3 menu :)... Amazing memories made here years ago
My Top 5 Favorite Songs off of the album.
1. Taswell
2. Blind Spots
3. Dreiton
4. Aria Math
5. Ki
As you can tell I build a lot in creative as 3 of these tracks play when you're in creative mode
Mine would be…
1. Taswell (Let’s go we have the same favorite!!)
2. Dreiton
3. The End
4. Alpha
5. Dead Voxel
Also I play creative mode often too because I was never that great at survival and Blind Spots was the first one I remember hearing. It’s actually playing as I’m writing this.
WE STAN TASWELL
Dead Voxel is definitely the best because it's so deep, dark, and lost. Whenever I hear it I feel emotionless and empty, almost like I am in the Nether. I love the emptiness of most of these songs and the piano, truly beautiful. The End is also iconic because of the glitch sounds and the almost dead feeling to it. I love Minecraft and C418 is amazing.
My 3rd fav great song overall
Exactly my thoughts. Dead Voxel is so underrated 😭. So is Beginning 2
@@josiee059 very true
I'm a composer, and I just can't figure out what makes this music so magical. There really is nothing out there like this.
I think the music is what transforms the game, I don't know how people play without it.
Also, if I could favorite all of these comments I would. We're all a unique group of people who love this music.
chirp sounds like the song that would play during a really shenaniganny end of a serious and dramatic game. like at the end of the last of us you just find out that joel is secretly an eggplant and ellie is a catgirl in some really obscure anime.
and now you just spoiled the game for us...
lol
well makes sense no eggplants live for long
The feeling that this music gives me is like no other; I almost stop myself and call it art instead. It is indeed like a beautiful mural, one that would fit alongside the marvelous wonders of nature. The shining sunset, the drizzling rain, the swaying forest. All of the wonders of Nature are nearly unmatched in magnificence, but we have come astonishingly close to matching their beauty. In poetry. In art. In music, such as this. I don't love many things, but I love, and I do mean love, the Soundtracks produced by C418. They are simply unbelievable.
Music is an art, my friend.
One of the finer fine arts.
Valerie Willham Agreed..
@@valeriewillham7274 But some music could be less art than others? xD
Taswell is a song that after its tone switch becomes so happy and bubbly that I genuinely can’t help but feel uplifted by it. A song that makes me feel so hopeful for the future and happy for the past and yet not a word is uttered in it. Truly masterpiece material in this volume.
yeah taswell is so specific and the best of Minecraft soundrack
taswell is so underrated its been overshadowed by a lot of alpha songs
The end sounds really spooky with good headphones on

''The End''
@@novadotflac thax
@galaxeei probably I was trolling... 🤔
When I listen to Ki and the last part of Alpha, I feel so small in this huge cosmos. I feel like I am laying on a field in the middle of the night, with all the stars and the whole galaxy in front of my eyes. I feel like floating through time and space, realizing how meaningless so many of our worries are.
c418 really makes me think about life and I cry
I just want to say THANK YOU for having an awesome put together soundtrack. I've been listening to this all semester when im doing homework. It reminds me of someone dear to me, which also helps keep me going.
The first time I listened to Alpha, I literally cried. It's the only time a song ever made me do that. That's when you know it's quality.

Aside from fallen Kingdom, yeah it's the same for me.
I cried with intro
Minecraft. The closest humanity will ever get to being God.
+Jonathan Estevam wtf ? Microsoft has - almost - nothing to do with Mojang man, developers are the same
* salty rant incoming *
Unfortunately for humanity, the developers at Mojang have decided to, instead of refining the building and creative aspects of the game, focus on PvP and fighting. With the upcoming 1.9 Combat Update and the various mechanics already in-game, we might as well rename Minecraft to "AdventureCombat." Whereas before, in your words, players can "be God," we're devolving to the squabbling mortals we've always been.
+Andy Li (Egg Roll) so true....
+Jonathan Estevam Who dat fuck is this Alex guy? I played this game right from the start and only stopped in 1.7.2 beta though, they put what was basically a mod into Minecraft....
I'M READY! BRING IT ON!!
THE END always creeps me out when it distorts and messes up. When I was playing the game I was like wtf just happeneedd aiiiiyee
Yes, it tends to do that. Its like the game suddenly peed its pants when the Ender Dragon rushes at you.
Its my fav in all.. I like the part *Music* *Same sound spams* xD *Music* DDDDDDDDDDDD
DEEEE NAA NOO NO *crackly crackly crackly* yeah thats pretty creepy
It’s someone scratching a record.
Fun fact: The 1.16 sounds were made mostly with a balloon, if you don’t watch Minecraft’s UA-cam channel for updates.

im back again to listen one more time this wonderful song :D
From 1:13:00 its stuck in my head
My favorite C418 song and Minecraft song
I’ve always said that the music is what makes a game good or bad. I still hold true to this statement.
Yes, as of 1.7.3 Mojang will add these new tracks into the game. ARE YOU GUYS READY?!
wow... it's now 1.14. time flies so quick
old comment... 5 years ago.. Damn.
I had hear moog city 2 it's awesome
It's been about a year since they added C418's new update aquatic music, and the third volume of the OST should be out within the next few months!!
@@lad2987 talk about it. ive been playing 1.16 snapshots!
i just love alpha, so much inspiration i just get hypnotised by that song, and i think of the old minecraft days, and how far it has come
perhaps the greatest (voiceless) soundtrack to listen regardless what you're doing....doesn't it make you feel great? I KNOW IT DOES!!!!!!!!!!!
So I am in love with #19 "The End" as many of you are, but specifically between 1:36:54 and 1:39:00. That kinda "void feeling part" Does anyone have song suggestions for me? I need more!!!
I don't even get nostalgia from this part. It just makes me cry its so beautiful.

The End I isin’t so bad
Dreiton is one of my favorites. It always keeps me going when I'm making something.
After all these years, the one that strikes me the most out of this album is Intro. 2:14:56
This passionate, heart felt and soul displacing melody that pulls you into listening and humming along, feelings of pain, hurt, loss, but also feelings of reminiscences, nostalgia, and times since past, like a Minecraft world you've long since stopped playing and have left in an outdated version to never be updated again, but that story having finished and a new chapter being played out around it in adjacent worlds.
I feel the song dares you to remember, the dog you left in that house, how many details you can remember yet it's the simple things you forget, like where you placed your house, why you put it there, how you felt at that time.
I have a Minecraft world that I started all the way back in Alpha, I had my father then, he wasn't a good man but he was still My dad, I remember trying to learn red stone and how to use pistons when I got a call that made me drop everything, his last voice mail on my phone is all I thought I had left, but I remembered that world, I copied it and updated it, I realized as I walked past all the things I made stood out a, rather cappily made structure, I remember showing my dad Minecraft and I asked him to build something, this song makes me think of that very moment I saw it again, even after all these years later it hurt more than anything, to remember such an innocent and happy moment of my dad, I later deleted that updated version of the world, and now the old un-updated version sits quietly in my backups.
Minecraft was able to give me something incredible back, something I didn't know I needed to see or feel, something, someone, I lost a very long time ago...
I do not play mine craft anymore
I've moved
the nostalgia is gone
But this music......
it brings some of it back
Thank you C418
GODDAMMIT A TYPO
Emo-bama is unhappy
rip bro why leave@@somegirliguess645
I like how, somewhat ironically yet perfectly placed, Intro plays as the last song in the playlist :)
The first two songs always make me feel emotional. It's just so goood, like words cannot describe how I feel everytime I listen to them
Oh my god... these are all absolutely gorgeous, I especially love the tranquility yet determination the Alpha songs bring. It is as though I am in eternal peace, though there is the occasional challenge which arises which is an inevitable encumbrance, yet at the same time it steams in some sort of motivation to continue building, one block at a time.
Nicely put!
Like falling into lava, with all your sweet gear :(
This is what I see:
- I see Zombies and Villagers at play,
- I see Iron and Snow Golems having fun,
-I see the sheep, wolves, rabbits, and skeletons at their best enjoyment,
-I see creepers and ocelots hugging,
-I see Dragons, Withers, and Guardians playing, synchronizing their sounds together,
-I see Parrots and Bats flying together,
-I see Shulkers and Endermen helping each other,
-I see Zombie Pigmen and Wither Skeletons racing,
-I see Cows and Pigs and chickens grazing in the distance,
-I see the leaves, grass, flowers, and the water moving,
-I see the sky turning purple, and both the Sun and Moon meet in the middle,
-I see the Ghasts and Blazes flying happily together,
-I see Slimes and Magma Cubes hopping and jumping around,
-I see dirt, stone, wood and sand, even clouds came to join in,
-I see Players and Witches playing together,
-I see... Peace and happiness, and with a tear in my eye, I'm not afraid to say, I am too...

@@StrafeCs2 ?????
i think one reason i adore minecraft music is because of its lack of lyrics. it lets you chisel your own story into the songs you hear, without the inaccuracies of someone else’s words over top of the melody
most lyrical songs regarding experiences (love, happiness, depression, etc) have their own specific story that the artist incorporated, and even though the song may be good, it doesn’t match the listener’s story exactly perfect.
but when you listen to a song without lyrics, you can imagine it exactly to your own story. It lets the music impact you way more… and i find that beautiful
You make a good point
This is like... Classical, rock,and electronic music fused into this massive saga of notes that is purely epic.
More like classical, ambient and electronic
Oh wow this comment is 8 years old
I swear to god, Kyoto is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard in my life
absolutely true, one of the best songs in the album, wondering why it is not as much popular
It’s because it’s not officially in the game except on console in the holiday mash up pack where you also get flake, but yeah it’s extremely underrated.
The transition from The End to Chirp is one of the most surreal shit ever ngl. That's wild.
That transition isn't in the actual album tho. This one's edited, so props to whoever uploaded this. The original "The End" ends with a distorted fragment of the main Minecraft theme in a loop, before cutting off in complete silence
top 3:
3: Alpha
2: Aria Math
1: The End
These are my favorites only because they bring back the most nostalgia.
Good list :)
Happy 10 year anniversary to C418s volume beta.
FYI to the people who are searching around Minecraft to listen to these awesome music;
A quiet place in the nether (such as above the bedrocks) will provide you with some of the creepy musics. Also, Minecraft musics usually start playing at sun rise and sun set.
Hope this helps!

I love this soundtrack so much. Like this album is more for the "adventurer who's goal is to beat the ender dragon" and the Alpha volume is more for the builders who like to play on creative.
what about the builders who like to play on survival?
how is no one talking about the masterpiece that is intro? the loneliness encoded in every bits of this piece?? hello??? it slaps like a fucking spatula
Indeed man
the worst part is at 2:19:34
BluMango dude, that is how long the video is but I can’t blame you
Insert the "joke going over your head" gif
r/wooosh
Minecraft Volume Beta is the best album.
Everybody here is complaining about the new Minecraft being bad and how it's not original. Well you guys are just nostalgia blind. If they didn't add anything past alpha then everybody would be bitching about how they need to add more stuff to the game, and everybody would vote the game down, complaining about how they are running out of ideas.
Now I do agree, something's that were added were unnecessary, but when Notch added Lapis nobody was complaining about how it needed a purpose, they kept on playing for the pure fun about it, because the thrill of imagination is better than finding a purpose for everything.
And some people say that they want Minecraft to just be like Alpha, and not have as many "confusing" biomes. Well what if I told you this, what is more fun. Standing around in a plain with nothing to explore, or stand around in a world, with everything to explore. It seems simple to explain.
Take my example on this way, if you had to live in a world with nothing interesting added in, would you have fun, or would you not?
Honestly, the only major change that made Minecraft lose its magic for me was the land generation past beta 1.8. I can deal with wings, llamas, and a new End fight/biome (I do like most of the new stuff), but when the land generation is consistently boring to traverse and to build on, I draw the line. Thankfully the relatively recent preset feature can bring back the old beta terrain into modern Minecraft. Old generation + newest version is the way I’ve been playing for a while and I’m loving it.
I’ve been playing since 2015 and I think it has improved. I’m not from 2010 or anything, but adding new mobs, biomes and physics is definitely interesting. Minecraft has to progress more, and if it didn’t, the game would be even less popular than now
While my experience was with the Pocket Edition(now Bedrock Edition) I understand the nostalgia. Sometimes I long for the days when I built 16-story wooden skyscrapers... and sometimes I'm just happy with what we have.
@@StarShade0i don't have much to add to the topic, i just wanted to say that the look and feel of the world generations is one of the things that i miss the most.
also, remember when you had to truly secure your house so you could sleep? or when mobs like creepers and skeletons could dodge attacks? or when ores were more rare but a lot more rewarding to find? i want those back.
i never played on large multiplayer servers in b1.7.3 back when i knew the game, because i never had a chance to buy a copy of it (and in October 2010 it will be a decade since i first heard of this game), and i still can't (hopefully it will change before then), but i really wish to play in the large city servers that i have heard of, where everyone just contributed to each other peacefully and where interacting that way could feel more personal.
i still hope that Mojang can still put the game back at the top by managing to bring back the feelings for the game that most people here had back in Beta. the point where the game lost its shine is blurry though, but i still think that it is possible to pull that off...
..if not, i still look forward to playing Blockscape someday, that game is growing slowly but steadily, and it's beautiful.
thank you for reading my rambling i guess
Wilker I do miss those things too. Enemies are a joke a lot of the time, except when the game spawns packs of them at a time in a quantity > quality fashion (seriously, the AI feels more simple, but they gang up so quickly). Ores I don’t think lost their value because of the updates per say, but because the players like you and I have just gotten better and spelunking. When was the last time you explored without a water bucket for instance?
I can’t comment on the big servers because I’ve never liked them, especially now that they’re all minigame hubs. I’ve always wished there was a small community city server out there too, but I never found one and I just stood with single player. I don’t know if Mojang will address much concerning that core feeling with how these updates favor new stuff, but I too hope they do something. I just don’t know what.
guys, can we put the nostalgia to one side, and just appreciate the beautiful music?

The End at 1:28:49 is awesome!!!!!!!!
Used to listen to this video everyday years ago while playing minecraft with my friend, amazing times
i was and old Mc player... i played it until update 1.2.3... was an awesome game, alpha is one of the most beautifull album i heard in my life... perhaps i dont listen to it so much but it is awesome... some months ago i returned to the game... it is almost a completely new game for me, in spite of being the same graphics style.. i hated most of the things... i felt confused and overwhelmed of how everything changed... but this... i cant hate this soundtrack.. god... is a master piece.... "alpha" is a song that demonstrate you that it is not only listen to the rithmyc... you have to enjoy every detail put in the song and feel it with you ears.. your skin... your mind... your imagination... it is real art....
Jhonas Hernandez, if you don't want to use any of the new features, no one is making you do them. The reason why they added so many features is so that you can choose what kinda game you wanna play. You wanna be a builder? We got Creative mode and my blocks so no problem. You wanna be an explorer? Survival Mode, underwater temples, woodland mansions, desert temples, many biomes, mesa mineshafts, lots of other goodies, no problem! You wanna be an original style Minecrafter? Then don't go to the End. Don't make a shield. Don't enchant armor. Don't carry your food in a stack. Don't go to the Nether. Don't make a Wither. Don't brew potions. Don't make noteblocks. Don't make redstone contraptions. Minecraft is like many games in one. There are people who build marvelous creations. There are people who play single player survival. There are people who compose music with noteblocks. Minecraft covers a wide range of buyers, players, and communities, and that is what makes it so popular. The game wasn't designed to have just the features you like, sir. It was designed to have lots of features so that a player can play the game he wants to play.
luke walker i think people like the game so much because its so wide
@@thedutchderp871 Are you like me and just scroll through all the comments I found a lot of comments by you ;P

akil dhamo
Yup, I read it wrong as fuck.
lol
taswell so
good makes me even cry
The song alpha sounds like an ode to minecraft, it is beautiful
There's something notable on all of C418's works, not just the Minecraft soundtrack. I'm not sure how best to describe it. It almost has a certain posture to it, a pride that has become melancholy after some humbling event, we have no clue what, but it's beautiful.
As I watch this i feel...
Inspired
Alive
Free
What about you?
I feel like I’m floating through time and space
*cries*
Let's go on a feels trip. *cries with you*

TheEndermanGaming I TEG I love it to
its snowing where i live in England at the moment. its only just started and we have 6 inches already. its 10:30PM but you wouldn't be able to tell as the sky is as pale as the blanketed snow.
im sat back in my chair, sipping on a nice warm coffee enjoying a book.
C418 - Beta is what i've devoted my ears to for this afternoon. so relaxed i feel as though i could die and still not give a single care.
Alpha is the dopest mashup of the dopest songs imo
if you find this for some reason
31:34 starts playing max reverb ghast sounds soo yeah
I love this game so much.. I've had it since the Alpha days on computer. The first night I bought this game I was on it for 14 hours STRAIGHT. You could say I had an addiction. This game speaks to me on so many levels and I've invested SO much of my time into it. I'm so thankful for this game. This soundtrack just makes me so happy. Thank you for creating this. *Thumbs up*
Nothings changed lol
