Product Description
Album Description
2012 release, the third album from the French Black Metal band. Les Voyages de L'ƒme (The Journeys of the Soul) 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 characterizes Alcest in terms of concept and music. Something that is common to all of the songs is the predominant feeling of euphoria and bliss, always subtly overshadowed by melancholia and yearning. Les Voyages de L'ƒme is a prime example of a wonderful piece of music, breaking all genre boundaries and enthusing fans of many different musical backgrounds.

Even better than the last one, Jan 18 2012
By Ian C. Murphy "erithtotl" - Published on Amazon.com
Like many, I discovered Alcest with Ecailes De Lune, then explored their back catalog, Amesoeurs, Lantlos, etc.As much as I liked EDL, I thought it had a bit too many mood pieces, and wasn't particularlly long.
The new record combines the sound of the three previous Alcest albums, polishes it to a fine sheen and delivers many more 'songs' that EDL. This may become my favorite Alcest album, and there is no filler, no misses on it. The only thing I miss are a few more of the black metal vocals that appeared on EDL, but I can live with it.
Highly recommended!

Best Meld of Post Rock, Shoegazer, and Metal....ever?, Mar 14 2012
By Kurt Randall Kraemer "Wordman" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Voyages De L Ame (Frn) (Audio CD)
Alcest has come up with their most varied, atmospheric, and melodious album of their career. Combining melodies that cross boundaries with many genres, Alcest has set the bar high for the balance of the year in the above genres of music even though, it is still early 2012. "Le Voyages de L'ame" is the most amazing thing I've heard in awhile."Neige" and company have put together the most incredible soundscape, and aural experience that could be truly best be experienced in a set of "fine" headphones.
This will absolutely transport you to another planet!
Production Values on this are superior; you can actually discern the tracking of acoustic guitars, multiple electric guitars,
and "ripping" lead breaks in every track. Incredible Drum Mix on whole album. Nothing meanders pointlessly, and every track has the proper length for flow and continuity. The Vocals by Neige border on the ethereal, even the multi-tracked harmony and backing vocals. Even though there were fewer Black Metal vocals than past LPs, I am sure that will be forgiven, given the overall experience of taking this all in at one time. Although each track is incredible by itself, the full measure of this masterpiece, begs you to take the full ride from start to finish.
Take the time; its worth the trip and you won't be disappointed you did.
This is Alcest at their best, and possibly their most accessible release. This is a great album to test out your new sound system with, and surely a disc that won't be leaving your rotation anytime soon.
Incredible Stuff, contender for Album of the Year in lots of Genres.
Listmania!
