Lumineux Noir is the third studio album of the Greek synthpop duo Marsheaux. It was released on 19 July 2009 by Undo Records.[1] According to the Side-Line magazine, it did not "bring an evolution in sound, but shows a growing maturity in song writing and production".[2] It is reminiscent of 1980s synthpop with tracks that have been compared to Ladytron,[2] Chemical Brothers[3] and Client.[3]

Professional reviews compared the style to 1980s synthpop and contemporary acts. The Side-Line magazine wrote that Lumineux Noir showed "a growing maturity in song writing and production" and that the track "Sorrow" was reminiscent of And One.[2] According to the Sonic Seducer, the album was approaching the style of Client and Ladytron while offering more different moods than Marsheaux's previous releases.[3]
