On Thursday the eShope updated like it normally does, and one of the many uploaded games was VVVVVV (6 V's in a row). It's an Indie game created by Terry Cavanagh and the soundtrack was made by Magnus Palsson. I don't actually have the game, but my cousin said it's one of his favorites, and my brother really enjoyed it.
...But that's aside from the point. This post is for the free download of the soundtrack, which is actually pretty incredible. Click here to listen to one of the tracks (Youtube). Now... the actual soundtrack was released for $4 or $5, but because I love you guys so much (and I need something to post) I'll just give you guys the free download right here:

If you want to see some of the stuff that Magnus Palsson put in the .RAR file that he wanted you to read, click where it says "View Full Story" or something like that...
Here are a few things about this release that you might be fun to know:
* The songs are mp3s in 320 kbps to ensure good quality. Most of the mp3s are meant to loop which doesn't always "work" when listening to them in sequence. Therefore they don't have proper "endings". This is also why I included a short silent file that's played between each song if you use the playlist and want to hear everything.
* The song "Presenting VVVVVV" has me saying "v" lots of times. If you don't know it you might not even notice.
* For the song "Pressure cooker", I had Terry say "v" on MSN in different ways, took one of the soundfiles and processed it a little. So that's him you hear there.
* My cover art is not using any special dimensions, just two same-sized pictures. You'll keep the music in your mp3 player or on harddrive anyway, won't you?
* The song "Popular potpourri" has a small chunk of every other tune in game during the break parts in addition to it being it's own song. Hence its long length.
* My own four favorite songs among all these are...
1) Potential for Anything
2) Positive force
3) Pipe Dream
4) Pressure cooker
2) Positive force
3) Pipe Dream
4) Pressure cooker
* The bonus song "Waiting for VVVVVV" (loosely based on Stephen Lynch's "super hero") is a joke between me, Deceased Crab, and Terry Cavanagh. It's not featured in the game in any way (doesn't even start with P, to indicate this), but I thought it'd be fun to include anyway. It's me singing with my guitalele into a cheap noisy microphone, and is totally unprocessed except for normalization. I don't claim to be a great singer or a good gitaleleist, but if the song puts a smile on your face then my goal was accomplished! :)
* PPPPPP stands for some things that can be good to have in life: Persistance, Power, Positivity, Passion, Potential and Purpose. And it went well with VVVVVV.
