morfiend Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 ALCEST - Le Secret (ltd. Gatefold LP / angelit edition) "Le Secret" is not a new album by Alcest, but the debut EP from the incomparable project from France. It was originally released back in 2005 in an edition of just 1,000 copies which sold out before the release of "Souvenirs d'un Autre Monde" (2007), thus becoming a sought-after collector's item. To Alcest themselves, however, it isn't this fact that constitutes the importance of "Le Secret." It's the music of the release which laid the groundwork for all future Alcest compositions with its epic tracks alternating between euphoric and nostalgic moods. Conceptionally, this EP sets out the framework that is essential for all other works of Alcest: music and lyrics are used here by Neige as a medium to channel and communicate the esoteric experiences of his early childhood. "Le Secret" isn't just re-released in its original form, though. Instead, Neige has realised his dream of many years to re-record these tracks which are so meaningful to him personally and so fundamental to Alcest and to adjust them to his matured demands. Still, the original recordings from 2005 are an equal part of this re-release. Colored Gatefold LP (blue) incl. poster, limited to 500 copies. Tracklist: 1. Le Secret (2011) 13:32 2. Elevation (2011) 13:26 3. Le Secret (2005) 14:34 4. Elevation (2005) 12:46 Available at prophecy here - http://shop.prophecy.de/product_info.php?info=p1189_ALCEST---Le-Secret--ltd--Gatefold-LP---angelit-edition-.html If you live in the US and don't want to import it, you can buy it here - - http://lastrightsrecords.storenvy.com/products/99644-alcest-le-secret-angelit-or-classic-edition-only-500 Theirs also a CD wooden box set version available but its super expensive and has been slightly delayed.

monsterrod Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I am REALLY looking forward to getting this in the mail. Thanks morfiend! Thanks again for the order man! Appreciate it. I got this in a couple days ago and it is fantastic. The music is amazing and the blue vinyl is beautiful. The cover art, color vinyl, and music all blend together nicely. Thanks man, I'm really enjoying this one. If anyone is on the fence, I highly recommend picking up a copy when morfiend gets more in stock.

I'm hoping these come in today but I think memorial day may have delayed the shipment by a day or 2. I may bring in some Alcest and Lantlos shirts eventually as well if enough people are interested.
