1969's "Brave New World" is the album that not only fully integrates the blues-rock stomp and hazy trippiness of "Children Of The Future" and "Sailor", but also adds a newfound pop gloss. Indeed, elements of this album would reappear throughout Miller's stratospherically successful mid-'70s commercial heyday: the slyly humorous centerpiece rocker "Space Cowboy" was name-checked on "The Joker," and the main riff of "My Dark Hour" (a studio collaboration between Miller and Paul McCartney) would later reappear as the intro to the huge hit "Fly Like An Eagle." Brave New World also benefits heavily from the contributions of famed British keyboardist Nicky Hopkins.
