Steven Wilson - The Ovierview (14 de marzo 2025)

Se sabía desde hace tiempo que este año iba a sacar nuevo disco, pero lo acaba de anunciar oficialmente.

I’m thrilled to be able to officially share with you that my new album, The Overview will be released on 14th March. The album is based on the recognised phenomenon of the “overview effect’’, whereby astronauts seeing the Earth from space undergo a transformative cognitive shift; some experience an overwhelming appreciation and perception of the planet’s beauty, but others see the Earth truly for what it is – insignificant and lost in the vastness of space.

Prior to the album’s release date, The Overview will have its world exclusive premiere at the BFI IMAX in London on Tuesday 25th February. The music will be played back in immersive audio accompanied by a specially commissioned film by Miles Skarin that presents a constantly evolving series of visually stunning animated sequences documenting the vastness of space and the almost imperceptibly tiny part of it that the human race occupies. Screened on what is the UK’s largest cinema screen I’m confident this is going to be a pretty mind blowing experience.

The Overview will be released on Fiction Records in standard CD, blu-ray, half speed mastered (at Abbey Road) gatefold vinyl editions and limited deluxe art book. The blu-ray features high res stereo, 5.1 and Dolby Atmos mixes, all in both vocal and instrumental versions, for a total of 6 different audio streams. The deluxe art-book edition (in the same style and dimensions as previous SW deluxe books) features an additional 60 minute CD of music not included on the final album and an especially commissioned orchestral version of the 23 minute long Objects Outlive Us. The third disc is a blu-ray which expands on the standalone version by also including all of the bonus material in high res stereo, and 5.1 / Dolby Atmos mixes of the orchestral Objects Outlive Us.

The artwork for The Overview was illustrated/photographed by Hajo Muller and designed by Carl Glover, their combined efforts creating a visually stunning companion to the music, perfectly encapsulating the album’s themes of space and perspective. Notably in the art-book edition there are several fold out multi-panel illustrations. In the past these deluxe editions have sold out very fast, so if you’d like a copy (and you won’t be disappointed, it’s pretty stunning), I would recommend not hanging around!

Tickets for the BFI IMAX World Premiere go on sale Friday 10th January on the BFI website at 12:00 to BFI members, 16:00 to the general public.

No sé si seré el único, pero este señor se me está empezando a hacer bola, tanto su música como él en general, me parece un poco peñazo.

Mola, a ver qué tal

A mi me sigue molando. De hecho, con el último que sacó volvió a remontar el vuelo.

No sé si seré el único, pero este señor se me está empezando a hacer bola, tanto su música como él en general, me parece un poco peñazo.

Igual.Su música cada vez me gusta menos y para colmo su pedantería la hace aún más insufrible.

y a esto le añades que apoya el genocidio israelí (la "defensa" contra el atentado de Hamas, que dijo en su momento, después no ha abierto la boca que yo sepa) y el resultado es que no lo soporto.

Ya ha caído la deluxe más un par de fechas en Londres

A mi también se me ha ido haciendo muy cansino musicalmente hablando. Del resto ni idea ni me interesa...
