The album then ends on a positive note with “A Little Love” stating that love conquers all. “Black Tears” sees Jermiside and Stik Figa trade experiences about racial challenges and inequalities, while “Bullet shock” deals with police and the use of authority. This starts on the opening track “I Love You, Still?” with Jermiside questioning his love for his home country. Jermiside’s ‘overview effect’ confronts the state of the world we now live in and the struggles we face. “The feeling was described as ‘the overview effect,’ which is essentially a keen sense of awareness astronauts feel after viewing planet earth from the vantage point of space for the first time.” “I came across a podcast with an astronaut describing his experience in space,” recalls Jermiside. Jermiside’s vivid imagery paints his own picture of a broken world yet one where the power is still in our hands to change it. The carefully crafted collage on the album cover reflects war, greed, injustice, racism, and social ecology. “I wanted the songs to have multiple layers, different sections, and intriguing arrangements so there’s something new to discover every time,” adds The Expert. 'The Overview Effect' is an album that never overstays its welcome and demands repeated listening. This album was a way of paying tribute to the artists and music Jermiside & The Expert love, but done in their own way. “Key influences include bands like The Zombies, The Beach Boys, The Left Banke, and Love’s 1967 cult classic, 'Forever Changes.'” XMPP was originally developed in the Jabber open-source community to provide an open. “In terms of songwriting, very few songs on this record have a ‘classic song structure’,” says The Expert. XMPP is the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol, a set of open technologies for instant messaging, presence, multi-party chat, voice and video calls, collaboration, lightweight middleware, content syndication, and generalized routing of XML data. Swirling strings, sitars, Moogs and crunchy guitars are all present, accompanied by trippy sound effects. Built with a keen ear for detail, The Expert densely layered his productions with tons of samples, seamlessly weaved together. The production on 'The Overview Effect' takes on late-60s psychedelic folk/rock, viewed through a 90s b-boy mentality of heavy drums and dope breaks. A socially conscious psychedelic hip-hop album inspired by Marvin Gaye’s narrative on ‘What’s Going On’ mixed with tripped-out beats reminiscent of Edan’s ‘Beauty & The Beat.’
'The Overview Effect' by emcee-producer duo Jermiside & The Expert is a vast musical collage of psychedelic soundscapes merged with hip hop’s golden age.
Yet somehow, due to planning and preparation, and due to the valor, fidelity, and sacrifice of the Allied Forces, Fortress Europe had been breached.Sometimes you need to look to the past as much as the future. When it was over, the Allied Forces had suffered nearly 10,000 casualties more than 4,000 were dead. Blanketed by small-arms fire and bracketed by artillery, they found themselves in hell. They faced over 200 yards of beach before reaching the first natural feature offering any protection. Many of the first young men (most not yet 20 years old) entered the surf carrying eighty pounds of equipment. After years of meticulous planning and seemingly endless training, for the Allied Forces, it all came down to this: The boat ramp goes down, then jump, swim, run, and crawl to the cliffs. The landing included over 5,000 ships, 11,000 airplanes, and over 150,000 service men. Overlord was the largest air, land, and sea operation undertaken before or since June 6, 1944. It is hard to conceive the epic scope of this decisive battle that foreshadowed the end of Hitlers dream of Nazi domination.
