	*''Minecraft - Volume Alpha'' is likely the most listened game soundtrack on the market as it originates from ''Minecraft'', which is considered the #1 game in the world alongside ''Tetris'', meaning millions of people have heard the music in survival mode. Additionally, numerous Let's Play series and streams for ''Minecraft'' have been hosted in survival mode with the music activated. However, ''Volume Beta'' is not as common as many don't play creative mode with the default music, especially not during recorded plays of the game, many Let's Play series skip over the menu or don't use creative mode, or the creative mode/menu music only shows up briefly.
	*The vocals are from a Kontakt library named “Droopy the Dragon”. It contains text to speech samples from the Magic Wand Speaking Reader made by Texas Instruments in 1982. The Reader was designed to read aloud phrases and sound effects in children’s books that were written for the device. Kontakt includes samples from a book called The Droopy Dragon by Jean Greenlow.		*The vocals are from a Kontakt library named “Droopy the Dragon”.
