Cultural Facts:
-
Personal Struggle: The Flock lost violinist Jerry Goodman soon after this era when he left for John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra, taking one of the band's most distinctive voices with him.
-
Scene Ecology: Coming out of Chicago's late-60s rock scene, The Flock mixed electric violin, horns, blues, psychedelia, and jazz improvisation into a sound far stranger than standard horn rock.
-
Studio Lore: Dinosaur Swamps pushed the band deeper into long-form fusion and progressive arrangements, giving the album a dense, swampy feel that still sounds like jazz musicians crashing into psychedelic rock.
