Cool list Dead-Air, however I think John Coltrane was already dead in the 70s;)

Oh yeah, he died the year I was born. However, many of his most daring albums didn't see the light of day until the '70s.

yeah, probably not.

Hard to describe.

I'd say there's a primal and trance-like side to their music.
