Wow, the contrast between the re-recorded 2011 versions and the original versions couldn't be more telling. The musical highs and lows can be heard much more clearly on the newer recordings (not to mention the bass). Vocal performance a huge step forward too--Niege has learned a lot in the five year interim. Eagerly counting down to when their next full length is released in Jan 2012!

Elevation is one of the greatest things I've ever heard.

The rerecording of Elévation gives me goosebumps. It sounds warmer than the original, but I'm unsure why that makes it so much better - I mean, it's the same song.

Obviously still a project in fledgling stages, the first two Alcest songs are genre-defining blackgaze, but far from exciting, nor do they justify their opulent length. Despite that, they already have that air of springy bliss to them and it's easy to see how this band would soon deliver some of the most beautiful, euphoric music of the following decade. - 6.5

The sound of the worst Alcest tracks was born here.

Elevation is like laughing and crying at the same time.

Looking past somewhat amateurish songwriting and a couple of awkward transitions there's quite a good record here despite sounding a bit unfocused and (for lack of a better word), naive.
