Just the live ones (they're much better live - 200 miles comes to mind), but the Trinity Sessions was the peak in my eyes.

Agreed. Complete with a beautiful version of Sweet Jane.

I flipping LOVE Alcest. That's one CD that I have to force myself not too listen to too often so as not let myself get tired of them too fast because I keep wanting to hear it yet again.
 
 Which is your favorite song? Mine is "Tir Nan Og". Love them all though.

Ditto.
 
 I just heard the album  for the first time a few hours ago and that track definitely stood out for me.
 
 What are some other discs I should check out?

I love that album too. There are a couple others that I sort of associate with the Alcest vibe, though the sound isn't really the same.
 
 Wolves in the Throne Room and Jesu are a little more on the metal side, but have the big guitar wave sound. Place to Bury Strangers is heavy on the Jesus & Mary Chain vibe, lots of feedback. Ceremony is the same, a little more poppy.
 
 Others that don't really sound like Alcest, but seem come from similar places are Om, Working for a Nuclear Free City, Panda Bear, and Six Organs of Admittance.

I was thinking "this reminds me of Jesu but with way less synth or low end and way more beautiful melodies" while listening to it. Any idea about other Alcest releases?

I think that's the only Alcest album proper, though who knows what they've got hidden in Franceland.
 
 Another groovy band that has the whole ethereal-female-voices and walls of sound (though less dense than Alcest) is:

I'm looking forward to this. And it's on a weekend! Weeknight velvet shows are hard for me to go to since most of them end after 1.
