Just a correction I found. No big deal, thanks for the help!

 

You think electric Miles stuff like Jack Johnson is abstract? It's about as viceral and in your face as it gets. If you want abstract I'd suggest the first Weather Report album. And Herbie's Mwandishi. Also Allan Holdsworth's Sixteen Men Of Tain. And Al Di Meola's Cielo e Terra.

Excellent albums all.

 

David Torn has a lot of dark, abstract stuff. I've got a good one called Prezens on ECM. Also Ralph Towner's Solstice. And probably the ultimate for spacey guitar sculpture music is Terje Rydal. I'd start with the 1978 album Rypdal/Vitous/DeJohnette. Other good stuff on ECM is anything with John Abercrombie. The live album he did with Marc Johnson and Peter Erskine is great. And Marc Johnson's two Bass Desires albums with Bill Frisell and John Scofield is great stuff.

 

Also top shelf choices.
