After several false starts the debut album from Audiodroid is finally here. "Raving & Melancholy Madness" was released this week as an app for smartphones in the Android marketplace. Incorporating artwork as well as the 7 track album it represents an innovative first for this Welsh electronic artist.
Approached by Tudor Watson with the idea, the pair quickly nailed down the concept of releasing an album as an app. The pair decided on this route mostly as a unique way of marketing music but also neatly preventing piracy and illegal downloading. To get the app you have to purchase it.
Audiodroid says "I'm really impressed how quickly everything came together and I love the thought that it might be a first for the music industry. The album itself is quite dark and in places quite strange, so to release it through the Android Marketplace seemed a quite appropriate route to market in the 21st Century."
The development company for the android app can be found at - http://electrome.com, the company provides a new way for independent musicians and bands to sell music directly to their listeners.
You can preview the album at Audiodroid's Soundcloud page, check out one of the tracks from the album 'Petition of the Poor Distracted People in the House of Bedlam' below.
