Overview

Brave New World is the third studio album by American rock band Steve Miller Band, released in 1969. It is the band's first album following the departure of founding members Boz Scaggs and Jim Peterman, with Ben Sidran replacing Peterman on keyboards. The album reached number 22 on the Billboard 200 album chart. In Colin Larkin's third edition of All Time Top 1000 Albums (2000) it was voted number 676. Paul McCartney contributed to "My Dark Hour" (credited as "Paul Ramon"), providing backing vocals, drums, guitar and bass guitar. Some members of The Beatles did not show up for a recording session so Glyn Johns suggested Miller and McCartney work together to take advantage of the time. Track listing References

Notable quotes

“One egg, one embryo, one adult—normality. But a bokanovskified egg will bud, will proliferate, will divide. From eight to ninety-six buds, and every bud will grow into a perfectly formed embryo, and every embryo into a full-sized adult. Making ninety-six human beings grow where only one grew before. Progress.”
— An explanation of how the Bokanovsky process works
“"Stability," said the Controller, "stability. No civilization without social stability. No social stability without individual stability."”
— Refers to mass use of soma to create "stable" citizens who conform to societal norms.
“All the advantages of Christianity and alcohol; none of their defects.”
— About soma
“How is it that I can't, or rather—because I know quite well why I can't—what would it be like if I could, if I were free—not enslaved by my conditioning.”
— Bernard Marx speaking to Lenina Crowne
“"For those milk paps that through the window bars bore at men's eyes...." The singing, thundering, magical words made her seem doubly dangerous, doubly alluring. Soft, soft, but how piercing! boring and drilling into reason tunneling through resolution. "The strongest oaths are straw to the fire i' the blood. Be more abstemious or else..."”
— As Lenina tries to seduce the Savage.
“Happiness is a hard master–particularly other people's happiness. A much harder master, if one isn't conditioned to accept it unquestioningly, than truth.”
— The Controller
