As cool as all of Lena Raine’s work is, the reason C418 is no longer the composer working on minecraft is a bit of an ugly one. One of C418’s demands was to keep the rights to the music he composed. Microsoft at some point (somewhat arbitrarily) decided that this was no longer tenable, which led to termination of the collaboration. Raine took up the mantle and did the best job humanly possible (the music added in the nether update is superb), but the separation from C418 carries a bitter aftertaste.

At least otherside and Pigstep are a fucking bop, so there’s that.
