TGK - Everywhere and Nowhere in Blockland [Full Album]

SUPPORT THE ALBUM ON SOUNDCLOUD & BANDCAMP “Your favorite game has lost its purpose. What it was, what it said, what it meant to you. Whatever it was, it’s almost as if someone so lively and fun fell into obscurity and forgetfulness. Mostly nobody knows about it but you. You can hear it. Slowly, but surely.“ This is a progression of the obscure building/LEGO game Blockland, and its deterioration of its quality, state of development, and form factor. Based off The Caretaker’s “Everywhere at the End of Time“, its formula touches on the gradual decline of the human psyche under the effects of dementia/Alzheimer’s separated into six stages. While Everywhere and Nowhere in Blockland doesn’t touch on any illness or specific human conditions, each song shows a slight change in state and familiarity the longer it goes on; Blockland being a game that hasn’t been majorly updated since 2013-2015, signs of which affect its community and development entirely. Most of the samples/sounds heard in this album can be traced back to the 1997 and 1998 programs “Beat 2000“ and “5000 Sounds“, fit for recreational use akin to EATEOT’s usage of 20’s to 30’s music that has since been free to sample.

While the community and some of its developers may not be the brightest bulbs, its legacy still lives on and throughout with its supplemental games (i.e, Brickadia). ---
