I know Incunabula and Tri Repetae; what are the other essential albums?

@avvelenata: in some ways that’s true, but overall, considering the writing style etc., I still prefer Orwell (even though I like Animal Farm more than 1984; in my opinion, it has some really heavy scenes, like when the horse is taken to the slaughterhouse... a scene that ruined my childhood :( ). Then again, it’s clear that we’re always talking about masterpieces of literature, so we’re always on the same level, right? :)

Anyway, if you like the atmosphere of Brave New World, you should read Player Piano by Vonnegut; the themes are very similar, as well as the atmosphere (even though it’s not a simple clone, just to be clear!).

beautiful work, although for me the best on dystopias remains Orwell. Another similar work that deserves a read is Piano Meccanico by Vonnegut (if you like Philip K. Dick, I recommend it)
