Miles probably started it all - "Bitches Brew", "Agharta" and other 70s
albums, then Weather Report (who in their own right would be worthy of

Fusion has become synonymous with boring muzak-style music by virtuoso
players who somehow have no taste (not just my opinion).
Anyway, I think Braindance is a wicked term for this kind of musick
they call IDM around here. :-)
Just listening to Black Dog's Bytes - what a wonderful record - you can
still hear traces of the 80s in it I think
