by Thomas Edison
, , genre? c\'mon, this is beyond genre

Public Domain 4U says: Think you've heard old school? Think again. This recording was made by Thomas Edison himself in 1888, and it may be the first recorded music ever created. Not a bad piece, either! Plus, I have to say, the background noise of the medium itself sounds like a modern dub record. It all goes in cycles.
