About this album

The Flock is a striking debut that pushed late-1960s rock into jazz-rock and fusion territory with real force. Released in 1969, the album paired psychedelic energy with improvisation, intricate horn work and extended ensemble interplay, giving the Chicago group a sound that stood apart from standard acid rock. Best known for its adventurous blend of art rock, jazz and psychedelia, the record built its reputation on bold musicianship rather than radio-friendly singles. Its restless mix of invention and volume made it one of the period’s more distinctive crossover statements and an early sign of where progressive rock was heading.
