Album

The album title pays homage to the work Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. The record looks like a concept album about immigration and initially had the title Stories of an immigrant (in reference to Storia di un impiegato by Fabrizio De André).[3]

The album cover is called Face Cancel, by Roberto Coda Zabetta.[4][5]

The song Ion is dedicated to Ion Cazacu, Romanian worker killed by fire in 2000 in Varese, the entrepreneur, head of the company where he worked Ion, killed him after it had rebelled against the inhumane working conditions to which he was subjected, along his companions. Pierpaolo Capovilla asked the widow Nicoleta Cazacu permission to post the song.[6][7][8]

The song Doris is a revised version (not completely a cover) of the homonymous song by Shellac from the EP Uranus, both musically and textually.[9]
