Composition[]
"Overtura" is the trailer for Music of the Spheres, serving as a medley-type of song which covers almost every track available on the record. The trailer features a short snippet of each song while travelling through the celestial bodies of The Spheres solar system and revealing their corresponding writing/language. The snippets are from:
- "Music of the Spheres" (0:00-0:06)
- "Higher Power" (0:07-0:13)
- "Humankind" (0:14-0:20)
- "Let Somebody Go" (0:21-0:27)
- "Human Heart" (0:28-0:34)
- "People of the Pride" (0:35-0:42)
- "Biutyful" (0:43-0:59)
- "My Universe" (1:00-1:14)
- "Infinity Sign" (1:15-1:20)
- "Coloratura" (1:21-1:52)
The tracks "Alien Choir" and "Music of the Spheres II" were not included in the album trailer. Despite that, they represent Kubik and Neon Moon II, respectively. In the video, both bodies were shown, while "People of the Pride" combined both shots of Supersolis and Ultra, and "Music of the Spheres II" ended up only playing part of "My Universe" instead.
