Pancrace is a quintet from France comprising Prune Bécheau, Arden Day, Julien Desailly, Léo Maurel, and Jan Vysocky. Pancrace began with a residence in 2015 at the Saint Pancrace church in Dangolsheim where the instrument inventor Léo Maurel resides. Pancrace's debut self-titled double-LP was released by Penultimate Press in 2017 and ended up on The Wire's best releases of that year. After the first record and subsequent tour the band were despondent that the main character of their story, the church organ, was not there. A series of meetings and chance encounters resulted in the band developing their own organ which they named "Organous". The approach of Pancrace is based on the physicality of sound, a choice of specific tone qualities within a given spatial contextual awareness. Therefore, the manufacturing and usage of the musical instrument are constantly reassessed. Consequently, playing with the mechanical aspect of the instruments is central to their musical approach and narrative. Designing an unbound pipe organ - though emulating some of the mechanical idiomatics of the initial Pancrace church organ - seemed the obvious way to gain more spatial control over a vast choice of places. This allowed them to approach their music from a totally new angle and work from within the organ. The results of these experiments are captured here, on their second opus, The Fluid Hammer. This new beast of an instrument, somewhere between a spider or an octopus, led Pancrace to compose from the frontality of the instrument as well as with the interactive tone possibilities brought by other instruments. With it's six panels display (two bass registers, two treble, and a pair of crumhorns) the organ projects sound like the musique concrèt Acousmonium giving the listener a spatialized perception of a wide range of tones and harmonics. Fluid Hammer is the result of the research and experiments undertaken with the Organous and other instruments. Fluid Hammer is a more rhythmic and percussive affair than it's predecessor, bringing to mind the experiments of Conlon Nancarrow as well as fairground barrel organs. The wide range of polyrhythmic patterns generates a constant tension between the machine and the human play. Music for Organous (spatialized and MIDI-controlled pipe organ), Uilleann pipes, Pi-synth, piano, motorised bow, boîte à bourdons, gaida, Baroque violin, hurgy toys, toy piano, componium, bodhran, low whistle, bird calls, AM radio, and shaker.

Excellant value
Special Size: Wide Leg Crop, Size: 14, Color: Rinse, Special Size: Wide Leg Crop, Size: 14, Color: Rinse
Purchased the “cropped” length. I am 5ft 3.5 inch. Weight 170lbs (42 inch hip/38 inch waist) normally wear a size 10/12 or 31 in jeans, depending on the brand. I ordered up at 14 for these based on other reviewers. (When held up to other jeans they were the same as a Talbots 10 at the waist) Prewash they felt good, a little big& length hit at the top of my foot. After wash and dry, the fit was almost perfect and the length was at lower ankle. Ordering up is probably the right choice, although I think I could have been comfortable in a 12 (with no drying). They are a tad bit too long for a “cropped” look IMO. The wide leg is a true wide leg and falls straight from the waist. The material is heavy and there is almost no give/stretch - so a traditional denim. This is the dark blue and it is a true dark blue. You can’t beat the price, excellent value.

Cropped ones are better, size issue with full length pants
Special Size: Wide Leg, Size: 18, Color: Authentic Medium Wash
These are very small in the waist and about 8 inches too long (and I'm not even that short). Very well constructed though so I'll keep them on hand as I'm on a weight loss journey. These were an 18 and fit more like a larger 14. The cropped ones are AWESOME. I ordered a second pair in a different color. They fit absolutely perfectly and hit me around the ankle length wise. Adore them.

GET THESE JEANS!!
Special Size: Wide Leg Crop, Size: 12, Color: Iced Blue Light Wash, Special Size: Wide Leg Crop, Size: 12, Color: Iced Blue Light Wash
I ordered these jeans because they were recommended by a youtube influencer and I have 0 regrets! They are a fairly heavy denim with just the right amount of stretch to them. I'd consider them to be mid to high waisted since the closure is right below my belly button. However, if I hike them up a bit they sit right above the belly button. I washed and dried them with little to no shrinkage. Length-wise they're slightly cropped on me, and fall right above the ankle. These jeans are honestly SO versatile because they look great with ballet flats, heels, tennis shoes, AND suede or leather ankle boots! Since I couldn't decide, I ordered them in two colors (iced blue light wash & medium blue vintage), and I love them both!! For reference, I'm 5'6 and 170 lbs. I ordered size 12 and they fit great. Highly recommend. You CANNOT beat the price for this level of quality in my opinion!!

My everyday Jean
Special Size: Wide Leg Crop, Size: 8, Color: Medium Blue Vintage
They don’t have much of a stretch to them but they do get a bit more lose around the waist when you wearing often. Got a size 8 was tight but after a few uses they got perfect. Be Definitely is a thick jean material tucks in any unwanted over hang. Don’t tumble dry they do shrink

Good Jean for the price waist hips run small
Special Size: Wide Leg, Size: 18, Color: Black
These pants are good for the price. I needed a pair of wide leg black jeans and the price on these was good. Reviews said the waist was small. I’m a 16/18. Got an 18. And the high waist (up to my belly button) fits snug but has a little give. Still comfortable to wear. The butt thigh area fits snugger than most wide leg pants but again not so tight or uncomfortable to not wear. The fabric is a brushed Jean fabric not just a woven cotton Jean so dog hair sticks to it like glue. They are a heavy quality fabric so not a summer pant. They are a keeper for me. If a gain a few pounds I can these being a no go.
