Music is the most vital force in coercing feelings of nostalgia. There is no argument, "Minecraft: Volume Alpha" by C418 (2011) is the most significant and emotionally potent embodiment of joyous memories from the past ever to grace this generation's ears. Through a masterful understanding of sonic impressionism paired with genius melody creation, C418 undoubtedly crafted one of the most important albums of the millennium.
The instrumentals are sirene, glistening, and beautiful. Every track paints a gorgeous picture of the natural scenes players find themselves in while playing the titular game "Minecraft". The ability of each instrumental passage to put the listener into a natural environment shows C418's unquestionable talent as an impressionistic genius.
Combined with the instrumental sounds and textures, the immense and dynamic song structures craft a pure, emotional, and unrelentingly beautiful landscape of sound so descriptive that you can see it with your eyes.
