radiatorhums Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 The video for Opale got posted a few days ago. I really like it. Also, it doesn't look like it wants to embed. You'll have to click on through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morfiend Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 So stoked to hear the song with Neil Halstead. The release date is right around the corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anchorlessbodies Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 It's surprisingly awesome. Opale is the weakest track on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimoswim Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 i like it so far. i think i prefer the last album though. i'm still not sure if i should go for the deluxe box or just the standard release Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morfiend Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Just received the shipping notice for my order so everything should be in stock within the next 1-2 weeks (depending on customs clearance of course). I'll also be restocking the first couple of albums and the BBC Session. Big thanks to everyone for the orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markok Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I love the mix and mastering on this - bass is very present and there is a lot more dynamics than on the previous album(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG88 Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 yes, the recording does sound very good. however, the content is lacking for me. feels pretty sucked out. though, I had expected the band was headed in this sound-direction to gain a bit more appeal. no neige screams, no double kick/blasts, and a song in english. 3 really big strikes.

Souvenirs d'un autre monde didn't have any Neige screams either. The english song has Neil Halstead on vocals, an englishmen and a huge influence on Neige who probably can't speak french very well anyway. I think the album is fantastic and better than the last 2 albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3TA-BIRD Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 It's like Christmas again today Just received the Shelter box and this is by all means the coolest box I ever received. The artwork is great and there's plenty of amazing stuff in there, like the TP, the digi-CD and the two singles on cd, a gold "Into The Waves" single as a bonus, an artbook with photos, a textbook with the lyrics, a signed poster. Me happy, nothing else spinning at my place today... and for the next days I guess. Oh yeah, no metal at all to be found on Shelter, but nonetheless a great atmosphere and sound.

eskimoswim Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 would anyone mind posting pictures of the box? i want to see if its worth buying. also, it is a major let down that "Into the Waves" ended up being a b-side. it belongs on the album.

eskimoswim Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 looks like prophecy posted pictures on the right side of the order page http://en.prophecy.de/alcest-shelter.html i went ahead and ordered the "deluxe box" as opposed to the more expensive complete one. i don't need the CD, DVD, or signed print. it would be nice if the liner note/english lyric book was included with both boxes though.

eskimoswim Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 received my my standard-deluxe box today. i ended up getting the gold variant. everything looks great; however, for the price, i really do wish they would have at least printed the artist/album title on the spine of the box.

morfiend Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 My retail order of this with test pressing finally arrived today. Very impressed with how the box set turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Us Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Really disappointed about the "Shelter" shirt.Ordered it in a bundle with the LP box in size M and after many delays I received a few days ago a shirt in M slimslimslimfit.Way too small, a little kid could wear it.Have sent it back at my own cost to get a replacement.What a bummer.

captainaldous Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 A little late to this, but how do your guys's copies sound to you? Picked this up on a whim yesterday and got the clear variant, but I'm getting quite a bit of surface noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
