a.n.0k here. I guess this isn't a name you're familiar with, and that's fine. Ashura wanted me to help promote his upcoming album in TM6, and so here we go. I hope I've done a reasonable job with choosing a representative song and cut here, and that you'll enjoy the file enough to buy Astral when it's out.

You might be familiar with this song on O2Jam, actually. I do like my cut better though. Maybe it's just preference.

Anyhow, step difficulties are 5/7/8. If the rhythms seem a little funny to you, this is a 5-beat song, hence the name. k// also decided to make a few more puns out of it, as you'll see.

The Heavy is pretty stream-intensive, but nothing too difficult. I hoped for an enjoyable balance of challenge and creativity, and it had better show ^_^;

I'd hoped to make some easier Light or Beginner steps, but the song's energy kinda made that impossible... sorry newer players.

The BGAnim looks nice, thanks to electricsheep's fractals and k//'s design skills. I contributed somewhat to sequencing, but I'm a little hesitant to take much credit for it, heh ^_-;

Anyhow, that's about all I can think of. If you can find something to like in this file, great.

And no, I'm not DM Ashura myself, haha.
