It's finally here! My 100th song: "Sidney's Fanatical Solo Frenzy 2", the sequel to "Sidney's Fanatical Solo Frenzy" which I made 10 years ago! This song as well is released on the same exact date I released my very first custom song, 15 years ago, what a long journey it has been. So, this is not only my 100th song, but also my 15 year anniversary as well!

Q: But isn't "The Tale of a Crippled Hero" just "Sidney's Fanatical Solo Frenzy 2"?
A: While I do consider that song to be part of the same series, it's more so a spinoff than anything. It has a completely different vibe than either SFSF1, or SFSF2, so this song is its true sequel.

Q: How long did this project take?
A: This is, by quite a large margin, my largest FL Studio project to date. This project in particular I spent about 185 hours in FL studio (That does not include charting time and video editing time), give or take. Total time is probably around 250 hours for the entire project!

On top of everything, I actually recorded the ENTIRE production process from beginning to end! Which means, I may actually use that footage to edit together a bunch of "How SFSF2 Was Made" videos.

Also, special thanks to Daisy Rainlight for playtesting and some chart feedback at certain spots!

Thank you all for all the love over all these years, I would have stopped making music a long time ago if it wasn't for all of it!
