Simfile by Hiryuu
for DDR Encore Tournament II

Ah...old-style Industrial.  Back in the day when I was told what to and what 
not to listen to.  This was one of those that I apparently wasn't supposed to 
listen to but then would you want your five-year-old talking about how black 
your soul was?  Still, this is definitely one of the best Industrial songs you 
can hear on the radio on some alternative stations and it dates nearly 20 
years.  So when do they call this classic alternative?

Anyways, this was a fairly major cut job here.  The original is 5 minutes so I 
had to section it just right in my audio editor just to get it somewhat 
decent.  It came out fairly neat and there are no problems with the sync and 
it comes out a fairly good run at just under two minutes.  A pretty fun little 
simfile, at least.

Rate: 115BPM
Time: 1:55

+ Beginner - 1

Pretty simple and straightforward.  The beat is there so just have fun with 
it.  There are a couple of jumps in here but that's about it for total 
difficulty.

+ Light - 3

Little bit tougher but about the same deal that Beginner had minus the 
introductions of more turning, minor crossing, some more jumps and a little 
bit of eighth note for flavor.

+ Standard - 6

Probably the closest in terms of the vocals out of all the ones here.  The 
beginning will probably be what gets most people who aren't used to chaos but 
the trick is to go with the beat of the song for the right track.  As long as 
you remember that, you'll be fine.  Most of the rest of the challenge is 
dealing with the introductions to freezes and the crossovers that are abundant 
in the file.

+ Heavy - 8

Tough decision on the rating.  I initially thought this to be a 9-footer but 
it wasn't consistent enough in the pace to warrant it after looking at it a 
few times through so I ended up marking it a hard 8-footer.  Getting through 
the beginning is probably the hardest part as it calms down but it does tend 
to roller-coaster a bit and pick up towards the end when the vocals erupt.  
More freezing, crossing and turning are present here and it's quite a tricky 
one at the slow speed, so you might need a speed-mod for assistance if you're 
not big on sixteenth notes.  Otherwise, this is fairly straightforward if you 
keep to the beat.
