'Pan Am Into Philly' isn't really typical Fluke - it's slightly more
experimental and jazzy than their more recent stuff. I hated the track
on first listening, but now I love it. I suppose you'd describe most of
Fluke's music as progressive house, before that tag got stuck with the
tedious for-the-dancefloor-only dub house stuff. Strong on melodies,
lots of layers of pulsing synths, occasion Beloved-style vocals, not
too bass heavy.

The second half does have comparisons with the Sabres, but slightly
less left field and less seedy. Strange the effect on music that the
shift in the drug of choice has had...
