Obligatory reference — electronica legends the Future Sound of London (FSOL) [1] produced an album called "ISDN" that was originally broadcast over ISDN lines in 1994:

It's an interesting relic of a specific cultural moment in time just before the Internet broke through. With ISDN, you could send a nearly hi-fi quality digital audio stream to anywhere in the world, but it wasn't yet on the open network that would define the actual future we now live in. Quite fitting for a band with "future" in their name.

[1] Even if you don't know FSOL by name, you've most likely heard their massive 1991 club hit "Papua New Guinea" somewhere.
