9RnK7 I first heard this album in high school eight years ago and it's still one of the most moving albums I've ever heard. Favorite track: Là Où Naissent Les Couleurs Nouvelles.

Matthew Skipworth Why do I love this album? Well... It's Alcest. It's fantastic! Great album, finally got around to purchasing this one (I bought Ecailles de Lune from FNAC in Paris back in 2011 and really enjoyed it, so it's taken way too long to get this one!) :)

R One of the most beautiful cover artworks ever. I think it perfectly depicts the dreamlike melancholic feelings Alcest evoke with their music.
Favorite track: Autre Temps.

about

The quintessence of Alcest

"Les voyages de l'âme" ("The Journeys of the Soul") is Alcest's third album and contains the quintessence of the group's creative work to date. While "Le secret," the debut EP from 2005, was the key to the world of Alcest, "Les voyages ..." unites everything that characterises Alcest in terms of concept and music. While an epic composition such as "Là où naissent les couleurs nouvelles" would have found its place also on "Écailles de lune," "Beings of Light" with its blazing character reminds of the ground-breaking "Le secret." On the other hand, "Autre temps" – the album's first single to which there is also an impressive and visually stunning video clip – is a prime example for the melodic and catchy side of Alcest that initially came to the fore on the band's debut album "Souvenirs d'un autre monde." Something that is common to all of the songs, however, is the predominant feeling of euphoria and bliss, always subtly overshadowed by melancholia and yearning.

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
