Children of the Future

Steve Miller Band

A seamless suite of London-recorded psychedelia. Side one drifts through hazy art-rock transitions while side two grounds the trip in gritty, authentic blues.

June 1968 · Capitol Records

A hazy, transitional journey from experimental dream-states to grounded, soulful blues.

Moments Worth Listening For
The seamless transition from the title track into the brief, frantic bursts of the following two miniatures.
The seven-minute expansion of In My First Mind where the blues structure dissolves into a shimmering psychedelic haze.
The jarring but beautiful integration of bird calls and environmental noise on The Beauty of Time Is That It's Snowing.
