The quintessence of Alcest Les voyages de lme (The Journeys of the Soul) is Alcests third album and contains the quintessence of the groups 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 L O Naissent Les Couleurs Nouvelles would have found its place also on cailles de lune, Beings of Light with its blazing character reminds of the ground-breaking Le secret. On the other hand, Autre temps the albums 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 bands debut album Souvenirs dun 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.
