I’ve always had the urge to make an album that is just purely meant to dance on. My experience wasn’t particularly great, so 72 Minutes represents my attempt to learn how to make house music. I personally don’t know if I succeeded. It’s definitely fascinatingly experimental.

72 Minutes of Fame stands for the feeling I’ve had that I was known as a one trick pony at the time. I made Minecraft music and that was all I was good at. I mean, of course not, I am a very eclectic composer and a lot of my albums are crazy varied. Also nobody ever told me such a thing. I just had this premonition that this is the case and I was all intent to prove that specific nobody as much wrong as I possibly can.
In that I succeded. 72 Minutes is not Minecraft, lol.

72 Minutes of Fame was C418's first major album. It is also the only album to have a limited CD release (CDs for Minecraft - Volume Alpha and one are still being sold) on Bandcamp.

Official descriptions

Imagine an album with just a few tunes. Now imagine that album being house, breakbeat, drum&bass, ambient and orchestral... well. It's all that and more!
—C418, Bandcamp
An entirely new album full of eclectic tunes. Intended to listen to as loud as possible!
I hope you enjoy this album as much as I did making it. It's a crazy one, I promise you that!
—C418, Bandcamp
Ah, nostalgia. 72 Minutes of Fame is the first album I released after I became completely freelance. No job, no need to wake up to go somewhere, freedom. Well, sort of. This was the first album I physically published and shipped myself. It was a lot of hard work and I was definitely not very good at it, ha!

[...]

I’ve always had the urge to make an album that is just purely meant to dance on. My experience wasn’t particularly great, so 72 Minutes represents my attempt to learn how to make house music. I personally don’t know if I succeeded. It’s definitely fascinatingly experimental.

[...]

72 Minutes of Fame stands for the feeling I’ve had that I was known as a one trick pony at the time. I made Minecraft music and that was all I was good at. I mean, of course not, I am a very eclectic composer and a lot of my albums are crazy varied. Also nobody ever told me such a thing. I just had this premonition that this is the case and I was all intent to prove that specific nobody as much wrong as I possibly can.

In that I succeded. 72 Minutes is not Minecraft, lol.

Lyrics

The world passed away,
all in just one day.
But if you've prayed to God,
all should be okay.

You should have fought
for your reason to live.
You should have got
to places you love.
You should have paid
all the debts you owe.
You should have thanked
All the people that kept you

Alive...
Alive...
Alive...
Alive...

Now it is over,
the world has ceased to exist.
You could have done million things
but you never had the time.
You stuck with your stable life
to have a bed to sleep in.
You've never done the things you wanted
Just because you thought you'd stay

Alive...
Alive...
Alive...
Alive...
