Now that a cassette for this is coming out soon, I really hope they end up making a 2LP deluxe edition with all the tracks one day -

Beautiful pressing, sounds exactly how it should on vinyl :3. -
Mostly ok sound, but the center hole on mine is nearly a millimeter off center and the wow is fairly heavy. Seems to have a cheap audio source (mp3 most likely) and after one wash with a well taken care of dishwasher, the grooves got destroyed as the vinyl itself is too delicate -

Absolutely gorgeous pressing the green vinyl is incredibly vibrant. The sound quality is great no pops or crackling; it does suck that it’s not the full track list but I do believe they chose the best tracks from the original. -
Edited one month agoCleaned + Zerostat. It’s really been a transformative listen for me. The string section is so forward. It’s an incredible listening experience. Beautiful mix of IDM, Folk, and Ambient. -
my copy sounds really really good, just a couple ticks on Danny. -

Won't compare against the CD I have since listening to vinyl through speakers not headphones but sounds great, obviously not dense music but still great to hear every little note played, hardly any crackles or pops - and those that are audible just add to the vibe, since Minecraft did have a jukebox and a bunch of records you could play.
A shame not all of the album made it, some great tracks are missed - especially on the Volume Beta release, but the translucent green is beautiful.

As always knocked off a star for the crappy tracklist.
Aside from the tracklist though my copy is absolutely perfect, in memory this is probably my best sounding copy of MVA though I may have to confirm that by listening to my collection all the way through some time.
Anyway, the surface noice is really subtle and only occasionally a noticeable pop comes up. There’s nice quiet fireplace crackles throughout the entire record, which really add to the soothing vibe of the album. Love it!
And wow, the colour on this (whilst initially pretty garish and unpleasant) really grew on me over the few months I’ve been actively searching for it. I really like how the colour matches the iconic vibrant green of Minecraft Alpha’s grass texture. Not sure if that was intended, buuuuut it probably was so I’m counting it!
Overall lovely looking and sounding release, nothing much bad to say!
Now make a 2LP release >:( -

So many memories from my childhood where brought back after spinning this. -

sidenote: My side B runout is the "Earth Confetti" matrix but its the translucent green
I'm disappointed they cut most the album, but they did pick the best songs and this is more of a meme LP. After some comparing the vinyl is relatively quiet, and any crackles that come in only add to the charm of this meme album. I'm surprised at its dynamics, while the soundstage could use some depth its a really good grab if you grew up with the game or just love the old music
