Steven Wilson - The Overview (2025)

Steven Wilson's The Overview is an ambitious exploration of space themes, comprising two expansive suites: "Objects Outlive Us" and "The Overview." Drawing inspiration from the "overview effect" experienced by astronauts, the album melds lush guitars, ambient electronics, and intricate compositions. Echoes of Pink Floyd and King Crimson are evident, yet Wilson crafts a distinctive soundscape that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking. While some listeners may find the lengthy compositions challenging, the album's cohesive flow and thematic depth offer a rewarding experience for progressive rock aficionados
