Minecraft Volume Alpha is the first installment of a two-part Original Soundtrack (OST) from the game, crafted by German composer Daniel Rosenfeld under the moniker C418. This physical CD release brings the critically acclaimed, beatless, and nuanced electronic pieces to fans for the first time since its initial digital release in 2011.
