Maximum Coherence During Flying (Album)

Overview
Maximum Coherence During Flying (1999) was Maximum Coherence's first full-length album under the Maxco name. It was released on the band's private label, In-Phase Records, to moderate reviews. It is the first release on the label. The album explores themes of blind faith, as well as delving into the bizarre, describing monsters and space pilots. An advance promo disc was also released around the same time as the album and was distributed to radio stations in the Austin and San Marcos, Texas area. It contained three tracks cherry-picked from the main release.

Trivia
- "Days of Heaven" film, on "Beginning" and "Piggymossum,"
 * A music video for a pre-During Flying version of "1/2 Tranquil" was produced by the band under the name [Untitled]. The video has only been mentioned by Trevor Dutton in a 1995 interview, and was aired only a few times on an Austin-based music television channel. The video has not been found.
 * Samples in the album include:

- Brother Stair's "Hour of our Time" shortwave transmission, on "Man In The Speaker"

- "The Holy Mountain" film, on "Polestoker." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ook1qs7S-Ts&t=186s
 * A robotic voice on "Jason Starfighter" screams "annihilate," a reference to the evil Daleks from the television series Doctor Who.
 * A quote on the inside cover reads, "File management is NOT rock n' roll." This may be a reference to the fact that much of the time mixing the album was spent on computers.
 * Supposedly, almost the entire album was recorded in various band member's bedrooms, excluding the symphonic opener and closer of the album.
