[edit] Wreckage
Wreckage was released in the US in 2003 to great critical, if not popular, acclaim. The UK release of this album was plagued with many difficulties that led to a six month delay in its release, prompting Rob to move to new management at the end of 2005.
[edit] 2006
2006 is set to bring a new Overseer album according to this forum post by Rob. The album is as of yet untitled, but it is expected to contain Skylight, a track that featured on the Blade: Trinity soundtrack.
The current status of this album is spoken about here, the key phrase being "I'm afraid you won't be surprised to learn that things are gonna be held up for a little while"", which does not bode well given previous events (see above).
[edit] Genre
Overseer's style is most frequently described as Big Beat or Chemical Breaks, although Never on Wreckage is distinctly Gangsta Rap in style. Overall, Wreckage is a showpiece album that exhibits a wide variety of styles and cannot be bracketed in one single genre.
