To celebrate this first reissue in 40years, multiple formats will be made available, all remixed and remastered from the original master tapes: digital, 2CD,
2CD+DVD deluxe, DVD, vinyl, as well as a super deluxe box.
In addition to the release of L’Heptade XL, a musical film will accompany it entitled, Viens voir le paysage, taken from a concert taping during the album’s tour in 1977.
The DVD portion also contains a newly recorded song: “C’est dans le noir (It is in the black).” This song was used as an introduction on the original tour.
L'Heptade is composed of seven core songs evoking the journey of a man in one day through seven levels of consciousness, at least that’s how Fiori explained it at the time. Clues that the whole journey occurs in a single day are given on the original album. For example, a rapid sigh of a man waking up, followed by steps on a cracked wooden floor can be heard in the prologue, the first musical movement preceding the first core song. A man preparing to sleep can be heard in the finale of the album.
