Minecraft Volume Beta [Cassette] (Random Color Shell)

C418 - Minecraft Volume Beta [Cassette] (Random Color Shell)

C418’s beloved Minecraft soundtracks are coming to cassette on June 13th. As C418, composer and producer Daniel Rosenfeld designs sounds to resonate in both physical and pixelated realms. Best known for his original soundtracks to Minecraft, the single best-selling video game (and now a major motion picture) of all time, he’s become a Billboard-charting artist with accolades from places like Vice and The Guardian likening his work to Erik Satie and Brian Eno. Just this past month, the soundtrack was inducted into the Library of Congress. In 2015, after quietly self-releasing Minecraft Volume Alpha and Minecraft Volume Beta, Rosenfeld partnered with Ghostly International to reissue Minecraft Volume Alpha on vinyl and CD. In 2020, the soundtrack’s second installment, Minecraft Volume Beta, saw its first physical release as a double LP and CD. Both releases have since been repressed to fervent fan response, but never on cassette until now. Out June 13th, the tapes are available separately and bundled in a limited edition box set now up for pre-order. The colorway for Minecraft Volume Alpha is an opaque Green, and Minecraft Volume Beta is an Orange color when purchased individually and with a Red shell in the box set.
