5.0 out of 5 stars A real lost classic, April 18, 2006

This was one of those A list records from the Dean that you only heard about, but never heard. You can throw out all the genre bending comparisons you want, but this one has to be heard to be believed. It's nearest cousin might be Have Moicy, but that doesn't do justice to the remarkable rhythm section(s). Not for those looking for the more child-like or naive aspects of the psychedelic era, this is a full blown mature work that sounds as professional (in the best sense) as anything from that era. Great musicians and great tunes with a touch of the openness and disregard for boundaries that made everything seem possible and wonderful from those times. Of course, it failed miserably with the public. The great fall of the 70s was just around the corner.

After I pined away for 35 years, somebody finally put them on CD. It's like I just heard it yesterday - I still remembered the haunting "Eyes" and most of the rest.

Believe me, it captures everything the era was about. And, it does an old man's heart good to have a good-sized piece of his youth back.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Insect TrustHoboken Saturday Night good album, March 20, 2005

What was the counterculture, anyway - America's last hopeful moment, or just a bunch of stoners making tragic fashion choices? This 1970 album from a band of East Coast VIP freaks (including the late, great music critic Robert Palmer on reeds) suggests that it was nothin' but a party good enough to blow your mind. Country blues, ragtime, avant-jazz, New Orleans gumbo, psychedelia and straight-ahead pop all get play here; one song features lyrics by novelist Thomas Pynchon, while another was co-authored by a 6-year-old. In this reissue's liner notes, Blender contributor Robert Christgau calls the Insect Trust "pluralistic tolerance in action, at once traditionalist, futuristic and entranced with the here and now." In other words, it's what democracy sounds like.
