Unlike the majority of industrial and ambient projects, Dernière Volonté is easily accessible and the tracks are so well arranged they possess a certain pop appeal. Although _Devant le Miroir_ is not that different from previous efforts such as _Le Feu Sacré_ or _Les Blessures de l'Ombre_, it is nothing short of impressive.

Tracks are mainly mid-paced, melodic and memorable, and entirely keyboard-based. They employ programmed drums and samples, and effectively carry a light dose of French romanticism and darker martial themes -- all adorned by the deadpan voice of Geoffroy, which fits the combination perfectly.

"La Nuit Revient" and "Verbes Fragiles" are clearly a stray into electronic new wave, and might find their way to the playlists of, let's say, Ladytron or Client fans. True, this time round the Dernière Volonté sound is a lot less melancholic and very poppy, but still enjoyable as ever.
