1. Go to http://souleye.madtracker.net/ (http://souleye.madtracker.net/)
2. Click on "Buy CD" on the side.
EDIT: The soundtrack is kicking, too. ;)
I donated but received no link to download the soundtrack.
Well, I'll tell Souleye about this.
And we're still waiting VVVVVV to be released 8)
For me, the file immediately started downloading from the PayPal "Payment complete" page. No pop-up or anything, and no external URL.

Yeah, same here, although I didn't notice it at first because Safari tends to download things in the background and it's easy to miss. William, maybe you should check your download folder, it might be in there.
Is it possible that I left the page before the download begin ? Mmm, that is really a strange downloadable feature.
Anyway, this is an amazing soundtrack and I'll have it soon or later :) Great job Souleye, the VVVVVV theme makes me wanna dance everytime I hear it.
For me, I had to click the "Return to donation coordination site" link at the bottom when my payment went through. Then it started.
Yay! I will be listening to this all today.
And I can't get over how clever the title PPPPPP is. I can't look at the title on the "album cover" without seeing musical notes.

Hah, I didn't see that before. Did you read Souleye's explanation of the title in the readme.txt too?

Yeah, just now, actually. I still can't hear him saying "v" in the menu song.
I'm also not going to listen to the other songs (the ones that weren't in the beta) yet. I want my first VVVVVV runthrough to be unspoiled.
Thanks guys! I've updated the info on the page. Not many people have had issues with the download though.
Have to say, this is some incredible music SoulEye. Fits in perfectly with the game.
The gameplay is fun, no doubt, but the soundtrack in the demo made the game an instant buy for me. Picking up the soundtrack now!
I love the soundtrack. The song that really stand out for me though is Potential for Anything, it's one of my alltime favorite game songs now. I'm also really fond of the moody theme you hear in the main menu.
At first when I hear Potential for Everything I wasn't sold, but it quickly grew to be my favorite song.
I just found this: http://vgmdb.net/album/17623
I'm really digging this! Easily my best game soundtrack of 2010. :P
SoulEye, I thought I'd bring a few things to your attention in case you weren't already aware. Maybe they can't be adjusted now... or maybe they already have without my knowledge! Either way, it's not too important.
1. The track 'Pause' is duplicated as 'Intermission', and the track 'Phear' also appears twice.
2. The tracks 'Pressure Cooker' and 'Pause'/'Intermission' are 128kbps, as opposed to the standard 320kbps, and 'Waiting for VVVVVV' is 64kbps (though I wouldn't be surprised if that last one doesn't exist in any higher quality).
3. There are a bunch of tagging oddities, such as 'Intermission' having no track number, and tracks 'Positive Force' and 'Popular Potpourri' having differing album tags.
Sorry to go on...
:vitellary: What amateur put this together!? I shall slap him around with a large high-frequency trout (:vermillion:) and teach him not to mess up again! :violet:
This was not the correct zip file! :victoria: I'm uploading the right one. :verdigris:
Like you say these are not huge errors (a big error would be like, a song MISSING). I have fixed everything you talked about.
Anybody who wants to redownload the archive, send me a mail if you're having troubles doing so from your donating address. :viridian:
Thanks for all the info, MUCH appreciated. It's hard being a one-man-band to keep track of all things, and before the release things got kinda hectic.
Hooray!
...I guess this update will give you an edge over the file sharing sites, which I'm sad to say this has already popped up on. :victoria:
Yeah I noticed. It's kinda expected I guess, though I'm charging such a low price they don't really need to pirate it.
Thanks to my MP3 player, I've learned today that "Positive Force" makes a fantastic background piece for fixing emergency bugs in software. Mainly because I broke one of my company's websites three weeks ago with a faulty web.config line and it went unnoticed. :victoria:
SoulEye > VAgentZero.
The soundtrack's awesome... It kinda pains me to see you (and Terry) not receiving compensation for your work through piracy, but its to be expected with any game, unfortunately...
My favorites are definitely Pressure Cooker and Positive Force.
It warms my Soul when my Eye reads your kind words and you name your favorites! :viridian:
Haha, I see what you did there...
I'm a musician myself (Guitar and vocals primarily... I know a bit of piano, from lessons in the distant past) and video game music's always been a favorite of mine. I've made a little medley of themes for guitar that is comprised of primarily NES / SNES songs (including Super Mario, Mega Man 2 and others) and I thoroughly enjoy music that pays homage to these eras.
Your tunes for V are perfect for cheering yourself up. Its' mostly the only thing that kept me from smashing my computer on Doing Things the Hard Way...
Mr Gideon Dabi over at www.originalsoundversion.com has reviewed the soundtrack: http://www.originalsoundversion.com/?p=6881
SoulEye, I just wanted to take this opportunity to personally say that I think you've composed easily one of the best soundtracks to a game that I've ever had the pleasure of hearing. To say that I'm astonished by the quality would be an understatement.
I couldn't even begin to speculate as to the last time a soundtrack, chiptune or otherwise, has managed to embed itself into my brain in such a quick and unforgettable manner. Too hell with Virt, and to hell with Paza: from this point forward, any time I have the opportunity to expose someone to amazing, face-melting, ass-kicking chiptune music, I'm throwing on PPPPPP first and foremost.
This simply is an amazing soundtrack, and I can't stress that enough. It's in my head as I write this, and it can stay there all day as far as I'm concerned. Again, good job. You've earned every bit of praise, and then some. I shudder to think about playing VVVVVV without such a phenomenal auditory experience constantly being laid down on top of it. You and Terry should keep working together in this capacity, because you both make awesome stuff.
Wow, thanks!
Shameless plug time!
One of the next things I'm working on is the Mega Man 2.5D project.
There's no music released from me YET. That'll come, I've done a few songs already. If you like my songs and you like the songs from Mega Man II and III, this will be like a double whammy for you, so you might wanna check it out.
Here are some clips for ya:

If you wanna stay tuned on my musical shenanigans, I recommend following me on Twitter; http://twitter.com/MPSouleye
.... I was already looking forward for Mega Man 2.5, and now I'm 3x MORE excited for it.
Whoa. How have I not heard of this!?
This looks amazing. I must find more information on it! :viridian:
PPPPPP Review by Dr. Boogie: http://www.i-mockery.com/weeklies/weekly.php?type=music&id=110
Scored 4/5.
Four out of five is a bit stingy if you ask me. I'd go with 9/10, personally. The remaining point omitted due to the fact this we're not talking about Mega Man 2's OST :P
And speaking of Mega Man 2.5D, I got that friggin' Stage Select stuck in my head again. Can't wait to hear it in the final game, it's gonna kick ass!
I've still been unable to find (or notice, maybe) Phear's inclusion in the game. Barring my simple inattention, either it has something to do with no-death mode or there's a really well-hidden secret somewhere.
Terry can answer that one! :)

This was for a planned easter egg that got left out in the last minute rush to finish up the game :(
There's one particular room in the overworld with a structure that's not connected to anything, and what was supposed to happen if you waited there for a few seconds was that the whole world would flip vertically and that sound effect would play. Instead, I just added Flip Mode as a new game option!
So now that the truth is out there, let's just call it a bonus track! :D
Here's seven fun facts about it:
* The voice you hear is me.
* It's unprocessed, no effects added.
* I sound like that normally.
* It was recorded on a single inhale...
* ...Through my left nostril.
* Terry thought it was scary when he first heard the jingle.
* If you play it in reverse, it sounds like "we are the champions" sung by Queen.
Ok, so maybe only two of those facts are actually true.

Well I have no clue on those (except I think the only one is true is is it your voice done with a single inhale), all I can say is that you make such great music.
My favorite track is 'Potential for Anything', which I am listening to right now.
I've been meaning to mention my favorite song, since it doesn't seem that it's anybody's favorite but my own: Predestined fate. Everything about it just feels so... excellent. I can and do hum any of the parts to it, and they all play off each other so spryly yet calmly. 'Tis some very great songwriting.
Oh I love 'Potential for anything'! It is the only song in this soundtrack that feels to me to be both happy and sad at the same time. I know it sounds eerie but I somehow find this song + Super Gravitron to be a metaphore of life - you try, you fail, you are sad, you try again and again, you succeed, you are happy, you think about all previous fails but also about all potential successes in the future. Totally love it.
A poll maybe? :P
