for a wider number of musicians to produce electronic music. Even though initially most of the electronic music was dance music, the genre developed in the 1990s as musicians started producing music which was not necessarily designed for the dance-floor but rather for home listening (later on referred to as "<a href="/wiki/Electronica" title="Electronica">Electronica</a>") and slower-paced music which was played throughout chillout rooms—the relaxation sections of the clubs (later on referred to as "<a href="/wiki/Downtempo" title="Downtempo">downtempo</a>", "<a href="/wiki/Chill-out_music" title="Chill-out music">chill-out music</a>" and "<a href="/wiki/Ambient_music" title="Ambient music">ambient music</a>"). </p><p>Since we don't really know what was the first electronic music computer generated track ever made, in the USA we can find in the intro of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" released in 1973, a fully completed music track using only computers and machines. At the same time, in Germany, Kraftwerk is recognized as the very first band creating music only with machines and computers. Kraftwerk were the pioneers of what is electronic music nowadays. </p><p>Then, the electronic music scene exploded in the world, with at the front line, Chicago for House Music, and Detroit the Techno. </p><p>In the late 1990s, <a href="/wiki/Madonna" title="Madonna">Madonna</a> had success with her album <i><a href="/wiki/Ray_of_Light" title="Ray of Light">Ray of Light</a></i> which experimented with electronica sounds. <a href="/wiki/Moby" title="Moby">Moby</a> achieved international success in the ambient electronica scene after releasing his critically acclaimed album <i><a href="/wiki/Play_(Moby_album)" title="Play (Moby album)">Play</a></i> in 1999 which produced an impressive eight hit singles (including his most popular songs "<a href="/wiki/Porcelain_(song)" title="Porcelain (song)">Porcelain</a>", "<a href="/wiki/Natural_Blues" title="Natural Blues">Natural Blues</a>" and "<a href="/wiki/Why_Does_My_Heart_Feel_So_Bad%3F" title="Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?">Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?</a>"). </p> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Sasha_front1.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a9/Sasha_front1.jpg/250px-Sasha_front1.jpg" decoding="async" width="250" height="139" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a9/Sasha_front1.jpg/375px-Sasha_front1.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a9/Sasha_front1.jpg/500px-Sasha_front1.jpg 2x" data-file-width="800" data-file-height="446" /></a><figcaption>Sasha using <a href="/wiki/Ableton_Live" title="Ableton Live">Ableton Live</a> at a nightclub.</figcaption></figure> <p>Electronic dance music was highly successful throughout the decade in Europe, particularly in Britain, Germany and Italy.
