Gumbo72203 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Really wish I got one of the magenta boxes.... the rest of the album has turned out fantastic and really grown on me. Would have been awesome to have the CDs for my car as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Damn. Finally got around to playing this today, and I'm confident in calling it my favorite Alcest album to date. The formula they chose for this record definitely resonates better with me than anything else they've done, personally, and I'm exponentially more excited for my clear boxset to show up. They've won me back, boys. JRHews 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered about a week ago; early enough that they all variants (minus the magenta marble) were still in stock, afterwards. It's been complete radio silence on my end, too. I wouldn't stress just yet. Metal Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abovetheearth Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Although Les Voyages De L'Âme is my tops, and Écailles de lune so, so close in second, it feels so good to hear this from them again. These guys are pure geniuses. Although Les Voyages De L'Âme is my tops, and Écailles de lune so, so close in second, it feels so good to hear this from them again. These guys are pure geniuses.

morfiend Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Souvenirs is still my favorite but Kodama is probably second right now. Btw, I've been waiting for my wholesale order to ship for a week now so they seem to be pretty backed up with orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecayToDeath Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Hadn't heard the band before this record, but it surprised the hell out of me. I can see it getting a lot of play over the next few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchorlessbodies Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I am a bit disappointed how the magenta/black turned out, it's the almost black looking vinyl that I really do not like. Oh well, the music compensates very well as it is in the top 3 Alcest for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arck2412 Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) I REALLY wish I'd picked up the Magenta/Black or the Clear/Black while they were still available, so bummed I missed this one. Doubt anyone is willing to sell theirs, but if they are let me know. Edited October 4, 2016 by arck2412 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) Looks like Bullmoose came through for me. Got confirmation on my complete box shipping! Edited October 6, 2016 by jonrawks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrod Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Got my black/magenta 4LP box in yesterday and it is fucking beautiful. The color of the vinyl matches the art perfectly, the prints are gorgeous, came with an autographed piece of what I'll call parchment, and the CD/book is incredible. None of this set was a throw away, everything was done incredibly well - everything but the packaging. My box and the prints inside got severely damaged in one corner because the packaging was kinda half-assed. The records look to be fine, so it is what it is. I'm about to spin this beast now. All in all, I'm glad I went big on this. Metal Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 My 4xLP box showed up yesterday and I'm on my second listen now (after a few with the mp3s). It sounds excellent! The only real complaint I have is that the sides are only labeled with tracks, not numbers. Bit annoying when you're dealing with 6 sides. drds89 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, my 3xLP has this etching on side 6.... Just curious: how does the additional etching look like and how are the etchings distributed over the 8 sides?

Regarding layout, I think it's identical to the 3xLP. The 4th has Notre sang et nos pensées on one side and the etching on the other.

radiatorhums Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Didn't get around to taking a photo this weekend and someone on discogs had some good ones. Here are both etchings for those who're curious. There's a ton of photos of the booklet on discogs too.

daniel Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) I've had my 3xLP box set for a while now... It's easily one of my favorite vinyl releases ever. Everything is beautiful and the record is pretty much perfect. Edited October 18, 2016 by daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) Enjoying this immensely on the Black/Magenta! Anyone got a hook up to some digital, including the bonus track? Got to listen on youtube once, and then the bonus track was taken down. Last I checked I couldn't even pay for the whole thing on bandcamp. Can't find it on Amazon or itunes, though a CD is decent $10.99ppd. edited: hooked up, thanks Jonathan!

Metal Mike Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Hey Kids, It looks like there are still copies of the box sets available at Prophecy's US store:http://us.prophecy.de/artists/alcest/alcest-kodama.html Use the code ProphecyUS-11-2016X for $10 off $50. radiatorhums 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 oooof.... the 4xLP box is $70. I hate being a broke college student. grrrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gippej Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 (edited) Did anyone pick up just the standard 1 LP pressing? Curious about the quality. I really enjoyed this album, but I don't know a lot about this band so a box set doesn't interest me to much. Those etchings do look badass though!

I like The Body a lot, but they play here all the time as openers. I think I'll have seen them 4 times in 2016. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
