ABOUT THE ALBUM
For the first time in decades, Retroactive Records proudly reissues Ten Songs by Adam Again on vinyl—an essential release for fans of adventurous, soul-searching alternative rock. Originally released in 1988 on Broken Records, this iconic album returns remastered by Rob Colwell (Swirling Eddies, Sixpence) and pressed in a strictly limited run of just 250 copies.
Ten Songs marks a turning point for Adam Again. Building on the raw energy of their debut, Gene Eugene and company deliver a collection that is deeper, groovier, and more emotionally resonant. The band draws from the rhythmic tension of Talking Heads, the introspection of R.E.M., and the art-rock edge of Daniel Amos and The Choir—yet emerges with a sound entirely their own.
From the slow-burning lament of “Eyes Wide Open” to their unforgettable cover of Bill Withers’ “Ain’t No Sunshine,” this album explores themes of faith, doubt, heartbreak, and longing with poetic clarity. Eugene’s voice aches with conviction, while the band surrounds him with funk-laced rhythms, post-punk textures, and bursts of melodic brilliance.
This reissue includes a stunning 12x12 full-color insert with lyrics and rare band photos, along with an expansive new write-up by John Joseph Thompson (True Tunes), offering rich context for one of Christian alternative music’s most important works.
Ten Songs by Adam Again is the only album by the band to appear on CCM Magazine’s 100 Greatest Albums in Christian Music (ranked #55), and it lands at #138 on the CCM’s 500 Best Albums of All Time list. Decades later, its impact still reverberates.
This is more than a reissue—it’s a restoration of a masterpiece. Experience it like never before, in rich analog sound, and rediscover why Ten Songs continues to inspire and challenge listeners across generations.
