Choreosonic Music Of The New Dance Theatre Of Alwin Nikolais by Alwin Nikolais, released in 1959 on Hanover.

Here's some of the deep deep deepest roots of electronic dance music -- sounds from a time when the use of new technologies was often a very abstract thing in a dance-based environment -- usually served up without any sense of rhythm at all! Unlike edm of today, these analogue sounds are almost acoustic, and have a very personal, poetic feel -- sometimes sounds with a naive impulse that almost recalls 50s records by Moondog, other times even spacier -- at a level that must have left the dancers lots of space to do their own thing alongside the music. There's a really strong sense of space on the record -- and the music is somewhere in a continuum between similar vintage recordings by Harry Partch and Pierre Henry. ". - Dusty Groove

Lumpy Gravy is a 1968 solo album by Frank Zappa , written by Zappa and performed by a group of session players he dubbed the Abnuceals Emuukha Electric Symphony Orchestra & Chorus.

Edwin Pouncey of The Wire writes that the album is "[t]he culmination of Zappa's commitment to contemporary classical and electronic music", and deemed it crucial for combining "classically motivated interludes, electronic abstractions and rambling spoken word compositions within a basic rock structure. Whereas other 'rock stars' frequently toyed with vague notions of musique concrète and experimental music, Zappa incorporated them into a medium that extended his musical repertoire and pushed the prowess of The Mothers Of Invention to new heights of skill and endurance."

Requia is the eighth album by American fingerstyle guitarist and composer John Fahey. Released in November 1967, it was the first of Fahey's two releases on the Vanguard label. It originally received hostile reviews from music critics, particularly for its musique concrète experimentation.[6] It has since been recognised as precursor to new-age music...

According to Edward Pouncey of The Wire, contemporary reception to Requia was mixed and often hostile, with many puzzled by the album's lengthy musique concrète centrepiece.

Kris Needs of Record Collector has similarly cited "Requiem for Molly" as a "deranged mosaic of effects" that predated sampling with its mixture of musical interpolations and "snatches of jazz and blues singers, Nazi marching songs, wedding music, hymns, brass bands and fairground organ, as well as self-recorded seals." - Wikipedia
