"Electronica" was a term used in the UK in the early 90s to refer to stuff
like Aphex Twin, Autechre, Black Dog, Ultramarine, Global Communication -
basically, the stuff that we now consider "IDM". It was later borrowed by
the US major labels and mainstream media as a catch-all phrase for any sort
of electronic music, but it wasn't invented by them.
