#3It really is great, haunting, nostalgic music that I associate with a formative time in my childhood. Beyond the game it’s also fantastic deep focus & coding soundtrack.
If you haven’t heard it, listen to Sweden or Aria Math.

#4The later composers for Minecraft have also crafted some exceptional pieces. Lena Raine's work was an instant hit. Nothing better than playing a Pigstep music disc at the end of a speedrun (because memes are more important than PBs).

I get why they want that. Otherwise every time they want to do something "out of the box" with Minecraft they have to go through corporate and IP lawyers first.
