Room Service door opens… and it’s Flash! Boom? Bang?


STOCKHOLM - Fame Studios, along with EMI and Roxette Recordings, launched the official "Room Service" site located at www.roxette.se today. The site – as expected – relies heavily on Macromedia's Flash animation software. Users with less than broadband access to the Internet can expect to be frustrated by long load times. There are even reports from some fans that the site has crashed their computer.

  Fans can download screensavers and desktop wallpaper, watch videos, listen to music, ask Roxette questions and participate in a competition. The prize for the current one is an autographed album and a Roxette "Room Service" bathrobe.

  The graphically intense site was developed by Fame Studios, a company that has Per Gessle as an Associate Partner and Marie Dimberg, Roxette's manager, on the Board of Directors.
