8th studio album sees Steven Wilson return to the genre that made him famous, Progressive Rock!
Format: Blu-Ray / Cat No: SW8BR / Released: 14/03/2025
Track Listing: 1. Objects Outlive Us (23.17) / 2. The Overview (18.21)
More information: The Overview sees Wilson return to expansive, progressive music, a genre he helped redefine and repopularise with both his solo and Porcupine Tree releases. The two wildly ambitious tracks are each made up of distinctive musical sections that flow from one to the other, playing out as unique and continuous pieces. Wilson’s 21st-century progressive music updates the classic ‘prog’ musical palette to incorporate everything from glistening electronics to post-rock and beyond, which brings the genre right into the beating heart of the current musical landscape.
The two track, forty-two-minute album is his most audacious to date, inspired by the “overview effect” experienced by astronauts looking back at the Earth from space.
The album’s tracks, Objects Outlive Us (including a movement with lyrics by Andy Partridge) and The Overview, are made up of distinctive musical sections that flow from one to the other to play as their own continuous pieces. Headphones and a wide open mind recommended.
Boxed blu-ray with 8-page booklet.
