Hi there!

Thanks for getting PPPPPP, the soundtrack for VVVVVV.

I hope you enjoy the music as much as I've done creating it.
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

* 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! :)

* The song Phear may or may not be in the game. It's a mystery.

* 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.


Again, thanks for your support. Spread the word if you like my stuff, and maybe I'll make music for another game!
Also I'd like to thank Terry for allowing me onboard the journey of creating the fantastic piece of software that VVVVVV is. Be sure to check out http://www.distractionware.com for his future stuff if you aren't already.
