Volume Alpha

Release

Volume Alpha was released digitally on 4 March 2011 via Bandcamp as Rosenfeld's first commercial release. The commercial release of Volume Alpha contains several tracks exclusive to the album, ranging from those cut from the game (such as "Excuse") to compositions from Rosenfeld's previous albums (such as "Droopy Likes Ricochet"). The album's cover art is of a 3D version of a Minecraft block of grass. On 23 June 2015, a physical release of the album was announced by record label Ghostly International. Alongside the standard CD and LP releases, a limited-edition version that came in the form of a transparent vinyl was announced, with only 1,000 units being produced. These were released on 21 August 2015. Those who purchased the physical releases also received the album digitally. It has been reprinted since its initial release. On 15 April 2025, Ghostly announced that Volume Alpha would be released in cassette tape format starting 13 June, available alone or in a limited-edition box set with Volume Beta.
