CCCP… Not Soviet Russia!
No, not russia. It’s our most recent song! Counter Clockwise Chant Pattern by Terminal 11. It’s… beyond words. Mega-FGO. Good luck trying to even FC this file. You can try for it for 7500 credits in purchased (the last of the purchased releases for the time being, yay!) You can thank gnr61 for this mass regurgitation of arrows.
Subbies get a new behanjc file in funk.

Tower and my 1000th level
Today’s public song is the very challenging Tower by AKHT. I don’t really have much to say about it… but it’s yours for 1000 credits in Purchased. File is by hi19hi19.
New subbie song is out too, Moon Child -Go With The Flow- by Naotyu. File by bmah. Will tell you all about it in 3 weeks. PS – This file is the 1000th I’ve personally added to FFR, including widgets.

Double Special KgZ Happy Fun Time!
Let’s start off with a nice little happy 16th birthday to in-house artist KgZ.
As such, I went ahead an added a new KgZ song to FFR for today’s subbie song. That song is Memories. Stepfile is by Sprite-, all of our favoritest mod to come back from the grave EVAR. It’s his first stepfile in game. I thought both guys would appreciate something for them. You can find it in funk. Very melodic song.
After I added Memories, I realized that today’s public song is ALSO a KgZ song. How crazy is that? Anyway, today’s song is Procrastination on a Paper. You can have it for 4500 in Purchased. It’s a pretty snazzy jazz piece, and only 8 AAAs on it despite a 9 difficulty… so it’s a challenge. File by Silvuh.
Enjoy!

And oh yeah…Â thanks to all of you guys for getting us to 1.6 million registered users!
Momentary Life since i have Hellhounds On My Trail
My good friend Shashakiro decided to come out of retirement this past summer and wreck havok on the FFR leaderboards, including winning the last official tournament. In addition, he decided to shower us with a few of his simfile masterpieces… all S.S.H. and all FMO, of course. The first of these is Momentary Life. 216bpm, 370 4-framers, 3:20 seconds, and over 2100 notes of FMO S.S.H. Shashy goodness. You can find it in the FFR Shop for the low, low price of 6000 credits.
Today’s subbie release is much anticipated. I’ll save the full review for 3 weeks from now, but just to give a small heads-up, it’s Hellhounds On My Trail by Children of Bodom. AND it’s stepped by behanjc. 4:00 of CoB goodness. I know there has been a lot of requests for this, so I’m happy to oblidge. The one caviat is that it’s a secret song, so you’ll need 125,000 credits to play it. Or, maybe not. Anyone can access it via the widget on CoB’s myspace page or here on FFR.

Not A Falsie Report
Just wanted to give you guys a quick heads up that Falsie the Pseudo-Science girl was made public earlier today. It is an 80s akiba pop song by our favorite j-pop artist, MOSAIC.WAV. Stepfile is by world renowned simfiler, behanjc. It’s a little over 2 minutes long and is a 9 in difficulty. It’s yours for 4500 credits from the shop.

Creating a New World Through KARMA
Hello FFR’ers! (try saying that 10 times fast heh heh)
Today we have a very special treat for all of you. A rare and wonderful treat.
Stephen Kay, president of Karma-Lab and the developer of the music technology known as KARMA, has given his permission for us to use one of his songs as this week’s featured stepfile. This isn’t any ordinary permission. Stephen has been featured in many magazines and websites such as Electronic Musician, Keyboard Magazine, Sound on Sound, and IT-Review.net for his incredible line of electronic keyboards and software incorporating KARMA, as well as his career as a musician and composer. His works have appeared as themes for world-wide NBC sports programs such as Wimbledon and the French Open, and he’s played in just about every kind of music group you can name: rock bands, jazz fusion bands, show bands, etc. His music is truly wacky and colorful, a bright twist to most music you may have listened to. Here is a link to the media player on his site, loaded with some of product demo works.
For more information about Stephen Kay, check out his biography.
Now to the featured file:
Today’s featured file is called ==Planet KARMA==. Some of you might know it from ODIpack2. It’s one of Stephen Kay’s multi-part epics, featuring 5 movements, each with a completely different style and mood. Most of the file is similar to the one in ODIpack2, but there are some striking differences, especially in the 2nd movement. The difficulty varies throughout the song, anywhere from a 4 to a 12. The entire song is just under 6 and a half minutes long, so it’s sure to test your endurance throughout! Stepped by yours truly. You can find it in Secret; it’ll only take 100,000 credits to access. Enjoy this epic release!
Yay Labor Day!
A few song related things for you guys…
1. 2 new subbie SotW songs are out, for yesterday and Friday.
2. 2 new public songs were released on Friday and yesterday (like every Friday and Sunday). Do A Barrel Roll by Kil, stepped by ElectricWerewolf and Here’s To Life [Oni] by Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution, stepped by DrugstoreCowboy, Kailure, AND Bluguerrilla.
3. We’ve added 2 new SKILL TOKENS, which gives us 100 total. #99 is straight-forward… Pass One Minute Waltz with less than 100 boos to unlock Minute Waltz v2. I listed it as a FMO, but it may be high VC. Not sure. Stepfile by jimerax. #100 is a bit different. We want to reward all the Token Whores out there, and hi19hi19 gave us the perfect opportunity. ST #100 requires you to have unlocked the previous 99 skill tokens. Have #1-99, then check your levelrank.php, and you’ll be given #100… the aptly named Token Whore, by dj tepples. If you get access to this song, congrats!, you ARE a Token Whore!
4. Some Support Token news: About 100 users were able to play Dendrite v2 without actually having access to the song… we’ve removed the scores from these users. In addition, all support tokens will now show up in special levelrank, not normal levelrank. Finally, challenges are being disallowed on support tokens if you do not have the token (just like secret, token, skill, etc).
5. Be on the lookout for a special public release file later today too. We ARE sitting on 599 public songs, and today IS a holiday (in the US).

Cinco de Mayo!
So, any excuse to clear the queue up a bit, right? Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a song that related to Mexico or the number 5 or May. So, I decided to go with Endless Altercation. We’ll say that Cinco de Mayo ended that altercation. Whatever… it’s a stretch, and you guys don’t care anyway.
Currently located in the top of page 1 of Dance2, Endless Altercation is a song by our own KgZ. The stepfile is a lot of 16th jump-triplets and jumpstream. Not too fast though, so it’s rated a 9. It is also the first file in-game by smartdude1212!
Songs that came out this week: Metal Gear Solid Piano Mix by RaustBlackDragon. Stepfile by hi19hi19. Easy and melodic 4-footer, currently in Funk… will soon be in Arcade. Say It Right (Sanxion7 mix) by Sanxion7 (original song by Nelly Furtado). Stepfile by Eastsideman09. Straight-forward 8-footer, also currently in Funk, likely move soon to Dance2.
