A SOTW To Reach The Ends Of The Earth

Posted in Song of the Week on February 25th, 200724 Comments »
Hello, Mannequin. How are you.

Hey everyone! SOTW time again – well, even though there’s usually more than one new song every week. This one is special, though – we’ve just added the talents of yet another wonderful signed artist, Joy Electric. One of my personal favorite artists, Joy Electric is the pseudonym of Ronnie Martin, a synthpop musician who’s been around for well over ten years. Martin’s sound is unique due to his almost exclusive use of monosynths, giving the music a very crisp, analog feel that’s unlike anything else we have on FFR.

Our first Joy Electric song is From Mount Chorus, off the incredible album Hello, Mannequin. The song is in the Misc section, and it’s rated a 6 on our 12-point scale – definitely something most casual players should be able to handle. Please take a look at the entire album and support his work – I can personally attest that Hello, Mannequin is wonderful from beginning to end. Look for more lovely synthpop from sounds here in the future…

Cheers,
Chardish & The Electric Joy Toy Company

Songs of the Week, 4th week of February

Posted in Song of the Week on February 24th, 200737 Comments »

2 songs were released for SotW #1 of this week last night, one more song will be released tomorrow.

Sonic 1 Final Zone, both song and steps are by Wlokos, his first song for FFR.
It’s the third song stepped by the song author, since Abtrusity by RageVI.
Short and fairly easy song, we rate it 2/6(Easy).
You can find this song in Arcade.

Another song is Gaussian Blur 3, a new secret song. You need 30,000 credits to play.
Song is by Kil-, steps are by Rebirth0. It has 182 BPM long streams and some tricky bursts.
Difficulty Rating is 4.5/6(Challenging). Gaussian Blur 1 and 2 will be also on FFR, I believe.

More information, Improvisation et Chien will be released tomorrow.
Song is by Dissonance and steps are by hi19hi19. Steps basically go with saxophone, not very fast but rhythms are really complex and tricky so it’s pretty hard to hit accurately. Rating is 3.5/6(Difficult). You’ll be able to find this song in Misc section.

Have fun with SotW.

Edit: Improvisation et Chien is out now!

2 new songs for this Sunday night

Posted in Song of the Week on February 19th, 200723 Comments »

This time, we have 2 new unique songs, Ruins and Honolulu.
Both songs are essentially based on 12th or 24th notes (purple and pink arrows).
I think we didn’t have those kind of songs on FFR until now.

Ruins is a cool song by Yamajet, steps are by me. In my opinion this song is definitely one of his best songs, so I got permission from him and stepped. A fairly difficult file with many 120BPM 24th notes (the same speed as 180BPM 16th notes), especially trills and jumps at the end are tough. Difficulty rating of this song is 4.5/6 (Challenging).

Yamajet's Homepage

Honolulu is a simple and hilarious song by Torley Wong, steps are by dAnceguy117, his first simfile for FFR. Mostly steps are 136BPM 12ths and overall a fun and intermediate file, still has some tricky parts with doubles and 24ths. We rated it as 3/6 (Tricky).

You can find both songs in Misc section.
Enjoy unique rhythms.

Song of the Week #1 – Air

Posted in Song of the Week on February 16th, 200753 Comments »
Shiki - Air

Finally.. we have a Shiki‘s song on FFR, Air. It’s a really well-known song for those who play Stepmania, since a lot of people have stepped this song. FFR version of this song is stepped by Rebirth0, also very popular stepfile artist here. This is a full version so the length is 4:23 and has 1,940 total notes, steps are awesome and fairly tough with 178 BPM 16th streams and some bursts. Difficulty rate is 5/6 (Very Challenging), so it’s a really challenging song to Full Combo.

You can find this song in the 3rd page of Dance2 section.
Good luck.

Freezepop

Song of the Week #2 for this week was released last night, Science Genius Girl (lameboy mix). Song is by Freezepop, and steps are by hi19hi19. The song is not that fast (138 BPM (Beats Per Minute)), but long trills at the middle of the song are fairly hard, so we set it at high-3.5 on the difficulty scale.

You can find this song in the upper left corner of Misc section.

Let’s enjoy.
