Ringtones tend to split a crowd. For some they are a wonderful hors d’oeuvre in the buffet of life, for others a horrible fly in the soup of urban existence.
If you insist on rockin’ a party every time your mum rings to tell you your tea is ready, why not step outside your musical comfort zone and check out Toneshared? Toneshared bills itself as “The world’s most interesting collection of mobile phone tones” and features downloads in MP3 format from a selection of alternative/electronica artists.
I recognised a few names (Atom Heart being probably the most famous) although the list does seem to be a bit heavy on the northern european ambient techno side. The quality is generally pretty good, though. Certainly it is a welcome break from Crazy Frog, that one that goes Diddle-oo-doo Diddle-oo-doo Diddle-oodoo-der and the latest R’n'B ‘flava’.
Best of all, you can afford to experiment – all the tones are downloadable for the low, low price of nothing at all. Now you have no excuse for not trying out a tone by the wonderfully named ‘Vulva String Orchestra’.
