Moondog, one of my most influencial musician.

He pushed the boundaries between classical, jazz, and ethnic rhythms, all in a more or less minimalistic way.

Slim Twigg, coined his style of music "concrete rockabilly", sort of rockish/rockabilyl/surfish with interesting moments of noise/electronics/etc - some of his stuff is pretty neat.

pretty close to electronics but I really like what Non Standard Institute have done. and then there´s some nice tracks on Sun Ra´s catalogue as well. and also worth mentioning is Miles Davis´ It´s About That Time from the great In A silent Way album. And, of course, Nels Cline´s and Thurston Moore´s album Pillow Wand that´s greatly been influenced by the likes of Glass and his peers.
