Can anyone say ENO??? I always thought that the genre befell from him and the movement in the early 80's in the Detroit area. The experimental music has been around for a while and I think that it evolved. I may be wrong. I think the experimental evolved in Trance. Delerium did some Kool stuff in 1987..Now look at them. Please feel free to debate.
