Released on July 19, 2011, this third major full-length album from C418 is a testament to the artist's versatility, spanning genres from ambient and EDM to house, IDM, and orchestral. With a runtime of over an hour, "72 Minutes of Fame" offers an immersive experience, featuring 11 tracks that showcase C418's knack for creating atmospheric, intricate compositions.

The album kicks off with "Timelapse Kingdom," an eight-minute exploration of rhythmic textures and subtle melodies, setting the stage for the varied sounds to come. Standout tracks like "From the Window" and "Along the Busiest of Roads" highlight C418's ability to craft evocative, cinematic soundscapes, while tracks like "I Jike My Lob" and "BD08" delve into more upbeat, dance-oriented territories.
