ACID HOUSE. Late 80s - early 90s
Like most House genres of the 1980s, coming originally from Chicago, but later associated with the 'Madchester' scene (Hacienda club, etc). Random fact: The plinky sound is a Roland TB-303 synthesizer.
EARLY SYNTH.
1970s
Electro-classic instruments such as electric guitar used by Blues musicians had existed since the 30s. Many sound engineers in the late 60s and early 70s started to work with pure electronic instruments. Along with african percussion styles, folk, jazz, ska, breaks, blues, & the rules worked out classically, one of the real foundation places in music. Pretty much created the 80s.
EXPERIMENTAL.
1960s - 80s
All kinds of strange stuff left over. Experimental often means - unusual instruments, especially made out of household things. There might be little or no melodies recognisable as "music" in the normal meaning of the word. Just structured sounds. No clear boundary onto other styles.
