Thanks, Argon! I’m a big fan of VU (got to learn about LaMonte Young through that and much later learned of their links to Henry Flynt) and I’ve come to deeply appreciate Hawkwind. So I must check out “Monolithic Undertow.” I deeply appreciate the recommendation!!!

If you've not already read it @Angel L. Martinez, would recommend ‘Monolithic Undertow: In Search of Sonic Oblivion’ by Harry Sword which attempts to describe the history of drone. Travelling from pre-history to the modern era via Lamonte Young, Alice Coltrane, Velvet Underground, Hawkwind, Black Sabbath, Sunn O ))) and many others. The narrative is a little disjointed but worth dipping into if interested.
