Montreal (Canada) based melogaze/ambient act Vision Eternel is staying true to its tradition and offers on Valentine's Day a present to the fans - an exclusive B-side track. This Valentine’s Day marks the eighteenth anniversary of Vision Eternel’s debut extended play, Seul Dans L’obsession. It is also the sixteenth anniversary of the Japanese compilation, An Anthology Of Past Misfortunes, the tenth anniversary of the extended play Echoes From Forgotten Hearts (and the first anniversary of its Deluxe Edition). All Vision Eternel releases were originally planned to be released on Valentine’s Day, but most of them missed the deadline due to recording, mixing, mastering, artwork, or record label delays.
Unfortunately, Vision Eternel does not have a new release to present to its fans in 2025, but since this holiday is such a meaningful and important date in the band’s calendar (and also Jack Benny’s birthday), Vision Eternel is offering an annual Valentine’s Day Exclusive heartbreak treat: “Moments Of September (Reprise)”, an unreleased rarity from the band’s archives.
The mastermind behind Vision Eternel, Alexander Julien, comments: "In keeping with the band’s most recent release, last year’s Deluxe Edition re-issue of Echoes From Forgotten Hearts, this song traces its origins from that extended play. Written for Echoes From Forgotten Hearts in 2014, but re-recorded during For Farewell Of Nostalgia‘s first session in 2018, “Moments Of September (Reprise)” offers a new take on “Pièce No. Sept”. The idea of Echoes From Forgotten Hearts was, initially, to have a single song that lasted seven to ten minutes. However, once the material was arranged for the score of a short film, the long song was broken down into smaller sections, or pieces. It was recorded and released as such on Echoes From Forgotten Hearts. During the early demoing sessions for For Farewell Of Nostalgia in April 2017, “Pièce No. Sept” and other segments of Echoes From Forgotten Hearts were often played in rehearsal. Later, in June 2018, an idea sparked to finally record a proper seven to ten-minute version of the finished songs, as originally envisioned in 2014. The new version of the song, which took on the updated title “Moments Of September”, would have remained a b-side of For Farewell Of Nostalgia, but only a couple of demo versions were tracked during the release’s first recording session, between June and August 2018, and it was not re-recorded during the second recording session in 2019."
