this isnt funny actually
I know it's a cold take, but this is genuinely one of the best ambient albums of all time. Subwoofer Lullaby is one of my favorite songs ever, it is serene and nostalgic beyond words
I'm still genuinely not sure how exactly C418 made these songs, there's so many unique instruments and arrangements.
its definitely up there with Tim Hecker - Harmony in Ultraviolet in terms of the best ambient albums ever
gotta check out Tim Hecker - Virgins or like Selected Ambient Works Volume II by Aphex Twin if you like ambient! 👍
@@Sanji_Hylo_4st those are two more of my all time favorites lol. Some days #3 by Aphex is just my favorite song ever, flat out

There’s a finished third Minecraft album that c418 intended to release but he couldn’t come to an agreement with Microsoft on who should own the masters for it, now he legally can’t release it due to issues with Mojang despite being the original composer. It’s sad as hell because it’s rumoured to be longer then both Alpha and Beta combined (over 3 hours) and would be “more ambient then ever” but due to Microsoft’s greed as a company it’s now locked in the vault for the foreseeable future, but I hope we one day get to hear it
I hope to hear this some day…
Hopefully C418 can release it one day and complete his Minecraft soundtrack trilogy
Though I wonder what it will be called
Minecraft - Volume Gamma?
Volume Charlie, maybe? It’s next in the alphabet after all.
BRO CAN SOMEONE ROB HIS HOUSE OR SOMETHING LIKE WHAAAT
@@chchvfhkhk2380it's not the US phonetic alphabet, otherwise it would be alpha and bravo. it would likely have been Volume Gamma
this is the calmest we will ever see brad 😭😭😭
I cant tell if hes just making weird faces, or hes just that serene

It has the opposite effect on me. Easily the most uplifting track on the album imo. It's really cool how one piece can hit two people completely differently
for me it’s subwoofer lullaby
I believe the music is 90% of the reason people say Minecraft feels so nostalgic

Petition for volume beta listen through. Whilst alpha has the iconic classics, beta is a more daring, ambitious record and I believe to be the superior record. Oh yeah, it’s also way longer so more peak music for a longer duration
Someone paid for it, so Someone will have to pay for this one as well.
@@josephbartholomew I highly doubt it will happen anytime soon. Judging it’s 2 hours and 20 minutes
Haunt muskie is peak
Oh my gosh please, it’s a bit of a long one but it is SO good…one of my favourite albums of all time.
dreiton is the only song i refuse to listen to; i save it for the most emotional days of my life because it just hits that hard. idk why that song in particular but something about that build up at the end is just legendary
mice on venus never fails to get me emotional

Brad’s silence during this reaction makes this video feel very different…and weirdly I actually don’t mind it?
It’s almost soothing to just vibe with everyone
Just me or was his commentary much better this video?
@@peanutgallery4 yesss cuz sometimes his short attention span ruins the videos
Why does he face look like that today
@@mattgroening8872little sleepy
if you like volume alpha, volume beta builds on its stronger elements and i would really recommend listening to it. it has more orchestral and atmospheric ambient qualities that embody the brilliance in c418's work, especially in the nether tracks and the longer compositions not used in the game
Yesss
It’s a lot weirder than alpha and I kinda love it for that
The song “Alpha” which plays at the end credits is genuinely one of the most beautiful songs of all time. It made me cry several times.
@@TunciBalunci WUGMDS never forget
aria math is my favorite song of all time
Brad never fails to make me shart 😭
Let me consume your shart
I really do be poopin
Bro?????
🙏🙏
Real
By itself it's a 9/10, but this in Minecraft is an 11/10, I don't think there is another video game soundtrack better suited for its game than this and Minecraft.
the craziest thing is that if you showed Minecraft and its OST to somebody that's never seen or heard them, they would've never expected them to be connected.
It’s really one of the best video game OSTs of all time in my opinion, and I listen to a LOT of video game OSTs. Easily in my top 3.
In my opinion Minecraft and undertale are one of the top one
I don’t care that nostalgia shouldn’t be a factor when rating music. This is about as nostalgic as it gets. So many memories. So much growing up. Reminds me of the peaceful aspects of my childhood
Don’t know if anyone mentioned this but one of the really brilliant things about this soundtrack is that in-game they don’t play in this order, one right after the other, or even based on season or milestone (like Stardew Valley or something). They just kinda fade in and out. Obviously the album is fantastic, but having the right song for the mood start playing completely by chance during gameplay makes it that much better
The reason Brad is so quiet is because he is mewing.

Volume beta is peak TRUST, I love c418.
Floating Trees, Taswell, Haunt Muskie, and Beginning 2 are unlike anything else.
@@constellations8572 taswell and haunt Muskie are easily the best ambient tracks hands down
@@constellations8572 You got that right
@@constellations8572 as an album alpha beats beta but beta has way higher highs but also way lower lows

This album will never fail to make me cry.
P.s. the silence in this reaction is soo respectful, I love it

An hour of nostalgia, while still simultaneously an isolated, beautifully arranged set of ambient, synthetic impressionism; there isn't a single downturn, only greater euphoria in its ethos
ETHOSLAB??
@@Trylsekongen oh snappers
I aspire to being able to communicate like that. Concise, descriptive yet poignant. Please adopt me?
"while still simultaneously" "euphoria in its ethos" stfu and think about what words actually mean before writing a whole lotta waffle
Aphex twin when? He’s been cited as a huge inspiration for all of the Minecraft soundtrack
I don't hear it. This stuff is really twee and isn't on the same emotional response whatsoever. Melodically it's slightly similar to CN in parts but the arrangement and sonic palette is not. Also as far as ambient music goes this is pretty lame. I would describe it more as Weightless, but without the bass. Not everyhting without beats is ambient music.
@@EverythingYouDoIsABalloon Richard D. James album in general, especially the songs 4 and Fingerbib

This album is honestly a masterpiece of epic proportions. The fact that a video game soundtrack can make me feel such a powerful range of emotions is astonishing
Thank you redsus4839
I mean, some of the best composers today work in videogame music. The videogame industry is absurdly gigantic and a lot of the new talent since the popularisation of videogames work on them.
I completely get why is such a weirdly close minded thing for people to only listen to videogame OSTs and no other music, but it's just as close minded to just belittle it just for being from videogames.
When the strings come in on Moog city I get chills pretty much every time
@@wumbojet I mean you see a lot of metal musicians like Trent Reznor, Serj Tankian, Matt Heafy, etc. work on videogame music
@@wumbojet ^
you said it exactly right about people only listening to videogame OSTs and no other music as close minded. The amount of fans of certain games call this like say New Jack Swing "Sonic CD music" is just telling and cringe. Maybe it's just me, but I just get tired of hearing the same track from a known game over n over again, as catchy they be.
And yeah to make fun of it for being from a game is just bleh. I get it, stereotypically vg music is super energetic turned up to max but we're gonna have exceptions anyway! Cause like if game OSTs are just music, Film scores/soundtracks are music as well. And I get it for u people, u don't like filmlike soundtracks in games, but I think they still have a place. Isn't Minecraft kinda on that quality? If so transcending film and games altogether?
But yeah this take on things, just me ig
2:56 Why does he look like the brownie just hit? I’m dying
I was thinking the same thing 😂
in the cave straight up mining it and by it lets just say my pickeaxe
idk about you guys but Dry Hands is my favorite on this album. it's not perfect and it might be off-time at parts, but that makes it more emotional to me. it sounds like your close one voicemailed their piano practicing session.
1000%. not only that but the way the in game version has this reverb & space that is so "alone" but also so homely, is something i think about so much - every time it comes up in game i always feel so much emotion, even w the song saying so little
@@adridoesthings3703 alone but homely... that's the spirit of Minecraft, right there.
I LOVE dry hands, but I love the in game version mainly because of the ambience complementing the music so much more, plus nostalgia, haha.
@@areakastudios6704 yeah, the in-game version is superior and... almost heart-wrenching? it sounds like a distant memory.
Gotta listen to volume beta now
daaaaaakeeeee
dake??
DAKE GOAT
YOOO DAAAKEE, you going to make another diss to Rodrick?
baby dake
I think a big part of the album’s popularity is mainly a nostalgia factor, but that doesn’t take away from it being overall a great album. I absolutely adore listening to this in my free time, especially when in nature. I grew up playing Minecraft on my best friends Xbox, and hearing this always floods me with memories of late nights and goofing around.
I mean it is the Minecraft soundtrack, one of the most famous games ever
nah
funny, I seen most people want to turn the music down, but nowadays seem to feel less mundane as we listen thru it ourselves. It do be great yeah
Popularity? Maybe. But it would be quality either way.
Woah! So cool that you’re becoming a gaming channel! Your next video should be giving tips on how to find diamonds, that would be really helpful!
As someone who has been playing minecraft beta and alpha recently I grew up on these versions and when I first got back on and heard some of the tracks the music genuinely fucking broke me. Like this overwhelming nostalgia and reminiscing of how my life used to be when I was a kid it sent me into a crying session I haven't had in an extremely long time. Felt like my soul was being purged.
HE ACTUALLY DID IT OMG
THIS IS LIKE MY SECOND OR THIRD FAVORITE ALBUM EVER 😭
What's the first one?
@@dfadlc00 Discovery by Daft Punk
brad be like:
Mr Chunkwide
picture that with a kodak
I never realised as a kid that C418 was directly inspired by Jean-Michel Jarre until I saw this track listing which has two tracks named after two of Jarre's albums, (Oxygene and Equinoxe)
I thought the Oxygène title seemed familiar!
The random autotuned "I see my reflection in the moon, it's so cleeeeaaar" gets me so hard everytime LMAO
Its just hitting me how whimsical and magical everything feels when listening to this as an album
“This is a bit right??” It was not a bit, but in fact a beautiful relaxing moment of respite from the stressors of the world.
One of the few times a RUclips reaction where you just sit there is appropriate.
Living Mice and Mice on Venus are legit the only two songs that need to exist
I get the feeling you like Mice
That may or may not sound weird out of context
Memes aside, this is music worth putting in the hall of fame
I can’t wait for you to listen to volume beta, and then there’s the short collection of underwater tracks, Dragon Fish is my favorite, and in the nether tracks Concrete Halls is my favorite
Volume beta is also incredible btw, aria math is the best song in the game
i was about to comment, some of the best individual songs are on volume beta. moog city 2 and aria math are amazing songs
Yes
I’m partial to Taswell
Dreiton too, i remembered someone mentioned it being like a cosmic calling
@@barelyabear7956 Dreiton has always felt a little more “naturistic” to me. Taswell is the truly COSMIC one imo.
rand paul ad in the middle of subwoofer lullaby nearly ruined my day
Finally brad listened to good music
I’ve actually never seen Brad rewind a track after ruining part of it with a sound bite before. This album is extremely powerful to have broken that streak.
Glad Brad liked Mice On Venus as much as I did. The whole album is great, aside from some iffy inclusions, but Mice On Venus just HITS different. It's both playful and sad, as if you and your best friend are the last humans in existence and you get to go inside wherever and do whatever you want. I think it encapsulates the nostalgic feeling most people have with Minecraft while also just being a dang good song in general.
Mice on venus destroys me on the inside. My beloved
i only made it to subwoofer lullaby then started crying
These songs instantly take me back to the best days of my childhood. Just being a kid staying up late during the hot nights of summer break, playing Minecraft on my shitty computer at my friends house. Having no worries, no real problems.
Now we need the Volume Beta reaction. Biome Fest, Floating Trees, Aria Math, Taswell, Dreiton, Beginning 2. Absolute peak.
Yah that’s the second album
How you gon mention all those and not aria math 😭
@@V0Rtexty um, dude, you might wanna read it again
@@phewiss3066 woops, didn't see that, my bad G
@@V0Rtexty lol it's cool dude
I really applaud your commentary on this album, Mr. Brad.
dry hands will always be my favorite. especially if you can find the super old low quality version. love that song.
Beginning (or atleast beginning 2) is such a uniquely special one to me, the main menu tracks are really nice, and the ones not on the soundtrack like droopy are interesting, they actually have some kind of vocals
Ambient fans trying to fight the sleepy nap time allegations when Mice On Venus comes on the aux
I'm more of a Volume Beta person however Alpha is still so beautiful even after all these years. Minecraft's albums are up there for me with Undertale; I really hope C418 regains the rights to release a third album in this series like originally wanted to!
Since there's some confusion about the tracks, here's a bit of info about where they show up in-game:
- Majority of the Volume Alpha tracks are somehow centered around survival mode. I say "somehow centered" because not all of them are actual survival themes. You probably noticed that a lot of tracks are paired and placed next to each other (Key and Door, Cat and Dog, Oxygene and Equinoxe, etc) and that's because majority of those pairs have one track that's used in game while the other is EXCLUSIVE to the soundtrack and will never play.
- There are some outliers, the main one i want to mention being that Thirteen and Cat are both music disc themes (and Dog is the ost-exclusive version of Cat)
I also HIGHLY recommend Beta!!!! It is much more of a dynamic listen but feels just as cohesive as Alpha imo because of the tracklisting. Beta contains:
- The creative mode themes
- The nether themes, pre nether update*
- The menu themes
- (Maybe some survival?? Lol i dont remember tbh i doubt it)
- All the other music discs
- A bunch of outliers (Credits theme, The End theme, a great exclusive closer in similar vain to Beginning)
* Additional context for the curious: The Nether is a dimension stylized like MC's version of hell. Since it was added it had minimal changes throughout the game's updates, being very empty and barren. Eventually there was an update dedicated to making the nether much more flexible and balanced in comparison to the overworld by adding new structures ores and biomes. Because of the massive change in scenery, a whole new set of tracks was made by Lena Raine. Both Nether soundtracks are awesome and accurately depict their version of The Nether.
I’ve been a big fan of C418’s music for a while. I don’t know if he just hit a stride or what, but him making this, “72 Minutes Of Fame,” and “Life Changing Moments” within the same year has gotta be one of my favorite strings of album releases that all sound so, so unique and I think speak to how much he loves making music. What a magical composer and a great album.
"key" will forever and always be my favorite c418 song... something about the chords is so beautiful and melancholy
minecraft was an integral part of my childhood and these songs just remind me of the xbox 360 days, also thank you for this video, I’m extremely stressed out and this is very comforting :)
volume beta next 🧎🏻♀️ genuinely in my top 3 favorite albums of all time
20:33 “this is the best song about mice ever made” 😭
This album is a truly magical piece of modern music history. Listening to these tracks gives me an easy access to a mental space where i can reflect, and not just be nostalgic, but really convince myself the past is real and all still happened. Its amazing the feelings this music envokes in millions of people.
💎/10
Favorite tracks: Moog city, Mice on Venus, Wet Hands
This is just a highlight reel of Minecraft music with the occasional soundbite. Top 5 Brad video of all time
Wow these songs really make me feel like im in the game. My life is truly like a video game
I'm so happy you did a video on this, even if most of it is just kinda vibes. One of my favorites, period.
I sincerely hope that we work through all of Minecrafts music on here - its all so good
Finally, Good Taste in Music

I really hope you check out Excursions by C418 at some point, it's not minecraft related but it's got some of my favorite ambient and electronic pieces
Bump
That subtle jump scare at 3:12 tho 😂
I highly recommend Volume Beta. Very similar yet different vibe to this album. The End especially is an experience the entire way through
i remember you was conbrickted, misusing your emeralds.
subwoofer lullaby is such a classic. i don't know why but that's always been the one that stuck out to me while playing, and i usually play with the music off cause it used to scare me as a kid (slow music = scary?)
god this album is so good, im speechless every time i hear it
i hope someone sends in volume beta at some point - its even better in my opinion, so many incredible songs that define instrumental music for me
Someone needs to
pleeeeease do volume beta too that one has some AMAZING tracks
MICE ON VENUS🫂
The amount of nostaglia this album brings for me is insane. I used to wake up at like 5 am to play minecraft with the homies before school like every single day, and that was probably lile 13 to 15 years ago now. These were like the songs that would play in the background all the time, and they are just incredible.
Brad so silent but so expressive anyways, loving the vibe
I was literally wondering the other day "wouldn't it be funny if Brad listened to this"
oh, look. brad discovered real music.
Didn’t expect this to be a video, what a pleasant surprise
Unrelated but profile pics like these are still hilarious
Brad is finally listening to the Collapse EP by Aphex Twin. I'm so proud ❤️

I have this album on vinyl, it’s awesome!!
Me too! I got the green version even though I ordered the standard, not complaining though!
Such a beautiful and chill experience, also, this is one of the best starting points to get into ambient music
Beta, Dief, and Excursions are C4’s other ambientesque ones too
@@orangemonks894 true
The song living mice brings out a feeling of sad nostalgia I can’t explain. These songs could play over and over and I’d never mind. It’s all memories
i was laughing when i saw you did a reaction to this only to realise i actually love all these songs cause i grew up playing the game. but also this is the perfect kind of music to read to i think
bro you have to listen to volume beta now. in my opinion it blows this outta the water w the layered sounds and catchy melodies
Yeah the tracks are perfect for Minecraft and also just in general. Some of the best video game music ever. Also Volume Beta is worth listening to as well
I really think video games are the medium where ambient music thrives the best. Minecraft and the OG Fallout soundtracks are the perfect examples of this.
Near perfect ambient soundtrack
It’s 2010. I just leaned how to log into my router so I could IP forward my friends into a server I just figured out how to host. Life is good.
