Their claim to fame - if at ll - was their invitation for a US tour by the US subsidiary of the Goethe institute and the fact that Björk likes them. The "crazy frog affair" was accidental. They only learned about it afterwards. And if you dig deeper you'll find that the guys who designed the frog (and took the Bodenständig music) never had annyoing ringtones in mind as well. @bbum: I never wanted to say YOU said they were neo-nazis. My trackback was aimed at John C. Randolph (commenter #1 to this thread). @Map, Bodenständig 2000 is around many years.

Everybody who thinks they are making neo-nazi rock can listen to it and hopefully see how wrong this assumption is. I’m still trying to talk them into releasing some material to CC:Share Music or CC:Sampling. I’ll keep this blog updated on that matter.

Their claim to fame seems to be the "music" to that annoying crazy frog ringtone commercials. So, no loss but a good marketing move on their part it seems. Could someone explain to me why Cory seems to be on a personal crusade against Apple? I care about issues of information freedom and can't understand why anybody would waste their time barking up on the Apple tree. And shouldn't Cory rather write about TPM support in Ubuntu anyway? ;) FWIW, I too am German, like 8-bit music and never heard of theses guys before.

I just googled their homepage and from the midi file attached to it, Apple should be grateful that these guys quite quite the iTMS.
