Chirp”, which is where we switch to the records you can find in Minecraft as collectibles. Until we get to… The End” is a 15 minute piece for the namesake in Minecraft, a place called “The End”, a dark and sinister place full of creepy things called Endermen. Oh, and there’s a dragon. Since The End is also the final stage the player has to go to to “beat” the game, this piece contains a lot of references to past songs. If you listen closely, you can essentially hear most of Volume Alpha embedded within. After building up the drone, the song breaks, as if some sort of audio device couldn’t handle it anymore. Lastly you hear someone fixing it, and it starts from the beginning. At least in the game. On the album we then go to…

Much like the previous Minecraft album, I listen to this by itself in favour of listening to it ingame, as the speakers of my headphones or my music player, this being a CD player, enhances the experience better than my TV speakers do. The CD copy I own sounds amazing, as always. How To Get All Music Discs Minecraft & Full Rank From Best To Worst". GuruGamer.com. 11 November 2021 . Retrieved 20 September 2022. The record starts off with an excerpt from Chopin's Funeral March [4] played on a synth organ, but it is interrupted by vinyl static and switches to an electronic, upbeat, exploration and adventure tune with a dark undertone. C418 – "Minecraft: Volume Beta" Me and my little brother, Ben, have this Minecraft world on our Nintendo Switch that we had dedicated to building a city. Well, technically it is Ben’s world, Ben’s city, I just have built a few rustic house, a tower, and an unfinished factory. But I worked my damn hardest on them! I loved the hype around hearing new Minecraft music because it all sounded great, but the yearly (or even bi-annually) EP releases don't get me hyped, especially as they've not got cool names anymore.It opens with Ki, a "new version" of Key, the introductory song on Volume Alpha (something this album likes to do), before segueing into "Alpha", a 10 minute orchestral medley of songs from the previous album (which is used as the games credit sequence). Alpha isn't that good, to be honest, I'd rather just listen to the music it's based on. Floating Trees: This is another one that plays on the title screen, and I have the same thoughts about it as I do "Mutation". It's not my favorite but it's still fine.

Warmth” plays in the game’s hell. Or as it is called in Minecraft, “Nether”. This song tries to play with the idea that even hell isn’t all bad, and there’s good things to be found. But it’s still a very harsh environment. A downtempo song in two main parts. The first part features a piano playing a dark bassline, with a melody and countermelody played by a saxophone and a flute, respectively. The second part features synthesized strings and a celesta. And then, “Biome Fest” started playing. A beautiful piano ballad, with synths, and glitchy cut-outs. And I started to remember my experience with Minecraft. When I was 10 year sold, on my crappy laptop in the car, giving myself diamond armor to fight the Ender Dragon. Funny, that isn’t even the best armor in the game no more! At the climax of this piece, a pulsing, one-note synth ostinato suddenly appears from the drone and is overlaid with a half-tempo rendition of the song "Sweden", which greatly increases in volume until the melody is overtaken by the choir and it abruptly stops with a motif from "Subwoofer Lullaby" and echoes out. A very possible reason why "Ballad of the Cats" has that title is because the sounds of ghasts are distorted recordings of C418's cat. [7]McDonald, Richard (28 May 2014).
