A few recommendations off the top of my head:
V/A- OHM: A fantastic intro to this whole movement.
Terry Riley: Everything from the early 60s (all those
amazing Organ Of Corti reissues) to Shri Camel and Descending
Moonshine Dervishes (early 80s).
Bernard Parmegiani: Start with De Natura Sonorum--a real
mindblower.
Pierre Henry: Le Messe Por La Temps (something like that):
Freaky psych rock mixed with very strange musique concrete.
Philip Glass: Music In 12 Parts--An unacknowledged precursor to techno.
Pauline Oliveros: Electronic Music and
Alien Bog/Sonic Soup (great drone-based works from the mid-60s)
Folke Rabe- What??: Reissued by Dexter's Cigar a few years ago,
this is a seminal minimalist drone piece. Essential for those
who think the microscopic-sound subgenre began in the 90s--and
for everyone else on this list.
Big Swifty- Akroasis and The Canals Of The Atlantean Plain--
Extrapolating on the blueprints laid down by Tony Conrad, Riley and
La Monte Young.
