Classic Erasmus Fusion (2006) by Volcano the Bear

Alright, I won't say too much about it except for the fact that it incorporates elements of: free improvisation, ambient/drone, psychedelia, world music, noise, avant-garde jazz, and various forms of folk (freak folk, free folk, and avant-folk). However, there are a few tracks have take a more traditional approach to songwriting, such as "My Favorite Tongues" and "Did You Ever Feel Like Jesus?" This is a really strong modern experimental release, and I have heard people call it a masterpiece.

天乃川 (Milky Way) (1973 Live) (1993) by Keiji Haino

Alright, here's another Keiji Haino album that I have up my sleeve... Keep in mind, though, that this recording was made eight years before his debut, Watashi Dake. Unfortunately, it was not released until 1993 which... is a damn shame considering this is a harsh noise album (from the 70s). I'll admit that the Tunnel Canary album is more fun to listen to, but, in my opinion, this is far more interesting. All in all, this is a hell of a brainfuck album.
