Super Smart Ringtone Album !

Ok. How about this: A fine example of our digital life and the digital madness...
A group from Germany called "Super Smart" released their first album only in ringtone format. Forget about cd's, the future is here! The price is only 2 euros and it is easily downloadable and portable to your cell phone. The group is supposed to attack the music industry this way bypassing the normal -expensive- music distribution channels. Moreover, the album is not crappy, you can listen to samples of "Panda Babies" on the Official Site.

Phone ringtones are big business. An estimated £70m of ringtones were sold in the UK in 2003, up from £40m in 2002. GoFresh (a Mobile Music label) already signed up 20 artists and last month said it has sold a million ringtones in just under a year of operation.
Specialisation on musical production is not fresh. Already there are people who write music for supermarkets, elevators, commercial jingles, computer games, hi-tech devices... So, why not ringtones?
