In terms of content, everything on THE OVERVIEW revolves around – how could it be otherwise with the album title – the overview effect. Wilson said in the PM: “It is one 42-minute journey that takes place on dem reported ‘overview effect‘ based, at dem Astronautsthe the Earth from the space out of see, one transformative, cognitive change experience, where she mostly one overwhelming Appreciation and perception from beauty as well as a reinforced Feeling the Connectedness with others people and the Earth as Whole experience. However are not all Experiences positive. Some see the Earth really as that what she is, unsignificant and lost in the width des spaceand the humanity as problematic species. As Mirror image of that presented the album pictures and stories of life on the Earth, as well as good as also bad.”
