Nothing is quite like what you describe, but John Fahey's early American Primitivism work was pretty ahead of its time and experimental. Likewise, Ornette Coleman's The Shape of Jazz to Come and a lot of Coltrane's work was pushing boundaries and moved the genre on in a big way. Maybe Black Monk Time by Monks is close to what you're talking about? Came out in '66, so just out, but definitely still sounds pretty fresh. Other than that, I guess The Velvet Underground and Nico is an album band's still try and ape to this day.

Black Monk Time:
