“key” is the song that sort of introduces you to the album, whereas “door” is a little bit of a small medley that welcomes you to the world of Minecraft. There is a lot that I have to thank Minecraft for, and there will be much more that I can thank it for. Volume Alpha has been released in 2011 and was the first commercial release I’ve ever published, and luckily also the most successful, kickstarting my career as an independent composer and game dev. Some fans actually like to listen to this album while they go to sleep, which is just as well another interesting use for it. Although Minecraft in and of itself is a very frantic and wild experience, I wanted to give the game a contrast by essentially giving the player a pentatonic chill pill. Minimalism was and is definitely key when it comes to the soundtrack. Aphex Twin also once said I stole his style. Critics like to compare the style of my album to Erik Satie, Roedelius, and Brian Eno. Too busy playing Minecraft to care about something as trivial as making sense.This is probably why you’ve come to this website! Minecraft is one of the most popular video games in recent history, and Volume Alpha is the first official soundtrack to the game. Be sure to check the Minecraft wiki if things are a bit confusing when you first start out. Oh, and if this entire news post made no sense – I don’t care. Instead, download it here and experience it for yourself. I’m not going to bother trying to describe the brilliantly inventive (and infuriatingly addictive) sandbox/survival game that is Minecraft Alpha. Notch reckons the problems should be fixed today, so you don’t have much time left. Following a huge server overload (or something) that’s made a bunch of Minecraft Alpha stuff break, burn and explode (probably thanks to a huge influx of players brought on by Penny Arcade’s recent Minecraft-themed comic, in conjunction with the awesomeness of Rock, Paper, Shotgun’s recent gameplay diary thing), creator Markus “Notch” Persson has declared the game free to play until he can sort out the issues. If you haven’t heard about this already, we figured we should make you aware of the fact that indie megahit Minecraft Alpha is currently free to play for a limited time. Even though the free-to-play promo is long gone, we have other content for you to enjoy, so please head to our main page for all the latest game news and insights. As you’ll notice, this is an old article that has been blessed by the gods to receive a million clicks.
