I failed the quiz.
This article is missing trivia.
The basic details are all here, but if you know some fun facts on these tracks, you should add them.

Seven Years of Server Data is an eclectic collection of tracks from across the years that never found home in other albums, mostly created for events or C418's blog. A version of the album with only the first nine tracks was released shortly before the official release, under the name totally secret.

Official descriptions

After cleaning up the folders on my server I decided to put up a collection of some songs as a free album.

Bear with me though as this is a very varied collection from very old music to very recent remixes. Some might sound terrible and the sound quality is something that could be better (FLAC will not save you most of the time).

However, I hope you appreciate this album as what it is.

Seven Years of Server Data! I uploaded this album before I went to the first Minecon, hosted in Las Vegas. I had some sort of sinus infection that resided somewhere within my ears. It was so bad that I lost my sense of gravity. This is what I remember when I think about Seven Years. Obviously that’s not what this album is about though, lol. Seven Years is a collection of actual seven years of music I uploaded onto my server, for whatever reason. Most likely to share it with friends. I never put these songs anywhere, so I decided to make it a free album.

Trivia

  • This track is the only collaboration between BigGiantCircles and C418, but a BGC song, A Rose in a Field, was remixed as Jimtention, and cliffside hinson was named after BGC (whose real name is Jimmy Hinson).
  • BGC418 was also released on BigGiantCircles' album Imposter Nostalgia, which also featured a collaboration with Disasterpeace (who C418 remixed in Kompass).

As far as I know this song was created from random samples someone made for people to use in their games. I had fun deconstructing them.

The weirdest remix I ever worked on.

This is a collaborative effort between smn and me. The way we created this remix is that each person took a turn to work on 4 seconds on the song. After that the turn was over and the other person had to make the next 4 seconds.

The outcome is weird.

This song must be 3 to 4 years old.
—C418, Bandcamp
The weirdest remix I ever worked on is actually the weirdest remix I ever worked on. The way I did it is with an old friend of mine that I cherish, Jannik. I created a project file with premade instruments and drumsets and all. And we had the goal that we each get two bars to work on until the next person has to go back and work on it. And so forth and so on. It’s kind of a mental song because we kept joking around with the transitions.

I hardly remember what this was for. Or when I made it. I'm pretty sure I was not happy with it though.

This song must be about 4 years old. I like how quirky it is, and the mastering quality is good considering my old stuff has really terrible engineering skills :).
—C418, Bandcamp
Not Atlantis is a song I still cherish. I just love the atmosphere I managed to create.
—C418, Daniel's Blog

Connections

Not Atlantis was originally released as the first track on the album Mubbly Tower, the soundtrack for the game of the same name.

Another weird ambient tune.

This one's somewhat good but a bit too boring. Not entirely sure what it was for or how old it is exactly.

I had a fun little personal competition with an old good friend to make a fun song out of the rewinded gameboy tetris tune. Yep.

And Sirtet is tetris backwards.

A collection of preetty old techno-ish songs. Most of them have really terrible overall sound engineering, so I shortened them drastically.
