We’re excited. Are you excited? www.loudersound.com/reviews/stev... #spacerocks #stevenwilson #theoverview @stevenwilsonhq.bsky.social

It’s Earth Week this week, and it feels like yesterday we had a career-spanning Earth Day audience with Vangelis — a composer whose masterworks helped us see our home world in a different way, and whose music continues to reverberate in so much of what we do...

What are we saying, @esa.int ?

Can space change your perspective on life on Earth? We asked space physicist Lucile Turc at the University of Helsinki how it’s influenced hers — here’s what she had to say. #spacerocks #spacescience #aurora

The Overview premiered at the BFI IMAX cinema, after which there was a roundtable between myself, filmmaker Miles Skarin, @esa.int and @spacerocksofficial.bsky.social’s Alex Milas, astronomer Mark McCaughrean, and solar physicist Miho Janvier. You can now watch it here: youtu.be/PbdXXVpWy8M

🖖🤘

It blows my mind that @stevenwilsonhq.bsky.social's new album The Overview (that I did a little PR blurb for w/ @spacerocksofficial.bsky.social) is #3 on UK Album charts, between Sabrina Carpenter and Lady Gaga!? Let's just say the stuff I listen to usually wouldn't share that space...impressive!

🖖🤘

We interrupt your spacetime continuum to bring you an especially cosmic review of @stevenwilsonhq.bsky.social's The Overview, with ESA solar physicist Miho Janvier and Prog magazine editor Jerry Ewing. Watch it here now! youtu.be/vUZaLHGIUG0?... #SpaceRocks #StevenWilson #TheOverview #Prog #Uplink

[email protected]'s The Overview album is out now — it’s a vast album that’s all about space and our place in the cosmos, so who better than our own @markmccaughrean.bsky.social to share what that means to him? Listen to the Overview: stevenwilson.lnk.to/theoverview #spacerocks

A few years back we had the pleasure of chatting with @stevenwilsonhq.bsky.social for episode 28 of Uplink — here he talks about his childhood love of space. Was that a clue about his new record? You decide. The Overview is out now! stevenwilson.lnk.to/theoverview #spacerocks #TheOverview

As we’re amazingly almost sold out of The Overview Disconnected Version CD, we’re going to make it available as a digital download for £4.99 to meet demand! Only available on my store and for a limited time - you’ve got til 23.59 (GMT) Thursday … store.stevenwilsonhq.com/product/the-...

I especially love my job when I get to promote science 🧪🔭 in connection to music 🎧🎸, my other passion (well, and scifi...). I was super chuffed 💪 that @spacerocksofficial.bsky.social asked me to talk about my experience with the Overview effect in honour of @stevenwilsonhq.bsky.social's new album!

@stevenwilsonhq.bsky.social's The Overview album is out today. It’s about how space can change your perspective, so we're thrilled to have @profsera.bsky.social here to share how her work with the @ehtelescope.bsky.social has changed the way she sees the universe. #spacerocks #theoverview

I feel like I’ve been talking about this album for a long time without being able to share much in the way of the music, so it’s with great joy that finally I can say here we are on The Overview release day! S x stevenwilson.lnk.to/theoverview

At the top of a mountain in the Atacama desert, auditioning again to be the next BBC science program presenter (“don’t call us we’ll call you…”) 😆

Space and rock, you say?

The Overview, the incredible new album by Steven Wilson, is out this Friday. It’s all about how space can change your perspective, so we asked a few friends of Space Rocks how space has changed theirs. First up, @esa.int solar physicist, Miho Janvier. #spacerocks #stevenwilson #theoverview
