148 is C418's most recent major, full-length album and the first to be the same style throughout. It features a variety of remixes, some of which had previously appeared on other artists' albums, and several original tracks featuring vocals. It is also the album that was in development for the longest.
Official descriptions
148 is a highly energetic and loud mouthed release full of house and drum&bass tunes. There's a house ballad, there's collaboration with cool artists and there's also some surprises, like Minecraft remixes I haven't shown anywhere else but at live shows.I've been working on this thing for over five years. At least a few songs I've worked on from the beginning until the last day, even. I wish I would have saved every single version of all of these songs so I could see how they changed, but before 2012 I really didn't understand what backing up really meant, haha. This album is also a super interesting evolution of my own sound. When I started making it, I was all into all-analog. When I finished making it, I wasn't really concerned about using digital means to reach the same goal anymore. When I started making this, I was a scared composer, fresh off of Minecraft fame. Unsure what the future would bring me. And when I finished making it, I became a jaded composer, hypercritical of every single piece I ever created, worried that my old work shows that I'm not good enough.
That really doesn't matter anymore though, because I think I'm happy with this album.
It just has been plaguing me for too long. I think that you can't be happy with anything if you've stared at it too close for too long. Which is why I decided to stealth release it without any announcement. I've had incredibly unproductive years recently, and a lot of it had to do with being burnt out and partly being somewhat depressed. This album didn't really help my psyche either. By releasing this, right now, I hope I can get to a clean slate and start beginning work on new stuff. And, of course, maybe it stops making everyone worried that I stopped composing altogether.
So, this is it! 148 has been started on a gigantic computer system somewhere in East Germany in 2011 and finished on a tiny laptop in Toronto, 2015.
I really hope you like it! And if you don't, I'm not dead yet. I'll have more music. So much more.—C418, Bandcamp

“Semantic Satiation” ... [is] what I like to call house ballad. An ode to my previous life, as a worker bee. It’s all about the dull emotions of having a super mediocre work life. And about being lonely and not having anyone to hang out with.—C418, C418.org

Droopy Remembers
| Droopy Remembers | |
|---|---|
| Length | 3:48 |
| Bandcamp | $1 or more |
“Droopy Remembers” is a reimagining of the Droopy songs on Minecraft, but more pimp.—C418, c418.org
Connections
- A remix of Droopy likes ricochet and Droopy likes your face, two songs which first appeared on life changing moments seem minor in pictures but returned on Minecraft - Volume Alpha.
Kompass
“Kompass” is a remix of one of the songs in Fez, but sort of as a post rock thing. I think Rich likes it.—C418, c418.org
Connections
- A remix of Compass from the FEZ soundtrack by Disasterpeace.
- Originally featured on the FZ: Side F album released by Disasterpeace, albeit in a slightly longer "solus" edition without the fade into 185.
Trivia
- "Kompass" is German for "compass".
- The FZ: Side F version includes unique track artwork by Kelly Robertson.

| Additional artist(s) | Baiyon |
| Bandcamp | $1 or more (C418) ¥100 or more (Baiyon) |
“185” is a collaboration between Baiyon and me, a sort of mix of my neverending house rhythm and Baiyon’s impeccable knowledge of minimal techno.—C418, c418.org
Daniel Rosenfeld, the German sound artist perhaps better known as C418, is responsible for the sound of Minecraft. I remember him sitting behind me and listening during a DJ gig in San Francisco, which led to a collaboration, which you can hear on his 148 album.—Baiyon, Baiyon.com
Connections
- Also released on Baiyon's album We Are as a slightly longer "solus" version which starts and ends normally instead of fading from Kompass and into Jimtention.
- An earlier version of this track was later released on 2 years of failure as 185_pre. As this track is only credited to C418 and not to Baiyon, it seems to be the original version without Baiyon's additions.
Trivia
- The longest track on 148.

“Jimtention” is my continuation of what “BGC418” used to be. Jimmy made a new album and I made a new Jimmyfication.—C418, c418.org
Connections
- A remix of A Rose in a Field from Big Giant Circles' album The Glory Days.
- Also appears on Hinson's album The Glory Days Remixed as "A Rose in a Field (C418 Remix)". This was a slightly longer "solus" version, lacking the fade into Tsuki No Koibumi 2.
Trivia
- The Bandcamp details for the original song contained a nod to C418:
Shoutouts to the ever quirky C418 who has become one of my closest friends!—Big Giant Circles, Bandcamp
- C418 previously collaborated with Big Giant Circles on BGC418, and the track cliffside hinson was named after him.

月が太陽に恋文を書いていた
ぎこちない言葉
君の光が最も明るく輝いた
星たちに囲まれてひとりぼっちの空夜
あなたとまた会えるように
君の光を照らし続ける
約束
月が太陽と出会い愛情を求めて
今知った
これは最大距離で遥か溢れる気持ち消えなかった
星たちに囲まれてひとりぼっちの空
夜探してる
あなたとまた会えるように
君の光を照らし続ける

But you aren't my friend

But you aren't my friend
But you aren't my friend
You aren’t my friend
But you aren't my friend
You told me how we'd be cared for
Despite the fact now you stole my score
After all the anger you have put me through
You really thought I’d be liking you?
Go away, never see me again
Please go away, never see me again
I could never ever be your friend
You used to be my friend
But you aren't my friend
But you aren't my friend
But you aren't my friend
But you aren't my friend
But you aren't my friend
But you aren't my friend

“Ample Time” was a song made out of frustration when I had to work abroad for a company that couldn’t get their sh*t together. I just wrote this song while waiting on them.—C418, C418.org
One of the tracks of my most recent album, 148. I was always happy with how this track came out. I started making this when I was frustratingly bored in Orlando and had nothing else to do except sit on my laptop and make music. Turns out it was time well spent.—C418, Soundcloud
Trivia
- A variation of this track called All the Time appears in the PlayStation 4 rhythm game Amplitude[1]
- The track title Ample Time is likely a mashup between the game's title Amplitude and the variant's track title All the Time.

“Habitual Crush” is kind of an obvious hint that I was very confused about relationships. Love life has always been hard for me because I love a lot of people at the same time.

Album trivia
- First publicly mentioned on 2012-01-26:
Every year I want to release a new original album, and this year I already started planning. I at least know the name and the cover, and the thematics. WHICH I WILL KEEP SECRET UNTIL I START WORKING ON SOME MUSIC.—C418, blog post
- The second longest album after Minecraft - Volume Beta. If Septic Shock to Biome Party is considered one song given how each track fades into the next, it also contains the longest song (with second place being Mixes).
- Contains at least one remix from every major album released up to that point, except for 72 Minutes of Fame: Beta and Droopy Remembers for Minecraft - Volume Alpha; Tsuki No Koibumi 2 for one; and Vierton, Aria Economy, and Biome Party for Minecraft - Volume Beta.
