Pangee were a band out of Quebec who released one album in 1995.
Their name comes from the original supercontinent at the birth of planet Earth, later split into Laurasia and Gondwanna. This band only managed one album (so far) and no news have filtered through for another. The album is of a conceptual nature, is totally instrumental and deals with the early mythology of our planet. The name of the group and the sleeve artwork reinforces this. The music can be described as a cross between King Crimson and Shylock (who were Crimson influenced).
The band obviously takes its inspiration from the "classic" 70's era, and does not sound like a 70's retro act.
In many ways, Pangée bears some similarity to Anglagard, especially in their heavy instrumental emphasis, and alongside the dark, starkly satisfying King Crimson-meets-Shylock approach that both bands adopt at times.
But where Anglagard provides respite with touches of Scandinavian folk and other related influences, Pangée retain a distinctly French vibe throughout.
