Bleep

Every gameboy's dream comes true courtesy of Ghostly International, with the soundtrack to cult indie game Minecraft by C418 available in a radiant vinyl pressing, and now new cassette formats to further form the building blocks of your life. Eternally memorised in anyone who has played it, we don't need to tell you about the game as its legendary status far outweighs anything we could ever say that has not been said before, but the soundtrack composed by C418 in fitting attribute is also a limitless world of ambient new age and modern classical atmospheres. All with an endless reach of serenity where perfectly crafted blocks of sound delicately form beside each other creating vast backdrops onto which all manner of instruments are absorbed. Piano keys lightly fall like raindrops while stringed arrangements ripple underneath and 8-bit melodies glide throughout. C418 has created one of the true pinnacles of what Eno described as 'ambient music' where the soundtrack truly has a real unobtrusive feeling to it, and to the music it does not matter if you listen to it or not as it does its own thing and plays lightly in the background regardless. But at the same time it works remarkably well as a standalone piece of music and dissected from the game within it will forever be joined, it is an LP of sparkling flexibility that will appeal to admirers of everyone from Bruce Brubaker & Oneohtrix Point Never to Caustic Window.
