Fly Pan Am (album)
Fly Pan Am is the eponymous debut album of Canadian post-rock band Fly Pan Am. It was released in October 1999 by Constellation Records. BackgroundThe album contains a re-recording of the song "L'espace au sol est redessiné par d'immenses panneaux bleus", which was featured on a split single in 1998 with Godspeed You! Black Emperor.[1] The record also features strange use of instruments and cadence, as well as electronic noises, provided by guest musician Alexandre St-Onge, that abruptly intersect the music. Their second album, titled Ceux qui inventent n'ont jamais vécu (?), employs the same electronic dissonance, but to a higher degree. Critical reception
Fly Pan Am has received positively by critics. AllMusic declared that "unlike some of their experimental [or] post-rock contemporaries, Fly Pan Am manages to be ambitious and engaging at once, creating forward-thinking, guitar-based music that is challenging but not intimidating".[2] Pitchfork also praised the album's originality, stating that "if Mogwai weren't concerned with film directors and pop stars, they might make such bold statements".[3] Track listing
