RRV2022 Adam Again - In A New World of Time Vinyl 732131698176
Retroactive Records proudly presents the first-ever vinyl reissue of Adam Again’s genre-defying debut, In a New World of Time. Originally released on Blue Collar Records in 1986, this underground classic finally returns to wax—remastered by Rob Colwell (Swirling Eddies, Sixpence), and pressed on heavyweight Jade Green vinyl, strictly limited to 250 copies worldwide.
This reissue isn’t just a nostalgia piece—it’s a long-overdue celebration of a visionary album that continues to resonate nearly four decades after its release. With stunning new sound and a 12x12 full-color insert featuring lyrics and rare photos, plus an expansive new write-up by John Joseph Thompson (True Tunes), this edition honors the depth and legacy of a truly singular band.
Led by the late Gene Eugene—producer, engineer, and poetic force behind Adam Again, The Lost Dogs, and The Swirling Eddies—In a New World of Time defies the expectations of '80s Christian music. With unmistakable echoes of R.E.M., Talking Heads, and The Cure, the album fuses New Wave, funk, and art rock into something raw, soulful, and deeply introspective.
Eugene’s lyrics confront real-world struggles and spiritual searching with emotional honesty. On “You Can Fall in Love,” he delivers one of the band’s most vulnerable faith statements:
“He was God and nothing less / He came to fill your emptiness.”
Greg Lawless’s freak-funk guitar work, Paul Valadez’s (RIP) grounding bass lines, and Riki Michele’s dynamic vocals all elevate this album to a level few dared to reach in that era. The record's original Howard Finster cover art (famed for his work with R.E.M. and Talking Heads) only adds to its underground legacy.
Ranked #278 on the “300 Greatest CCM Albums of the ’80s”, In a New World of Time still sounds like the future—melodic, messy, searching, and soaked in soul.
This is more than a reissue. This is a restoration of a vital chapter in alternative rock history.
