Oh man, I remember picking up an Adam Again cassette at the local Christian bookstore back in '88 or '89, and I thought it was complete lameness. Would that have been in their early years while they were still refining their talents, or do we just have different tastes in music?


Edited to add: does the line "sometimes I sing by myself, sometimes we sing together; I like to make some noise, I like to turn it uuuuuuu-uuuuuu-uup" ring any bells? That's about the only line I can still remember from that album, and I remember it still because it was SO LAME!

P.S. Donald, since Adam will now be away for awhile, you'll have to be the resident "Adam Again" expert, and give us the answer.
Adam,

I'm not gone until the end of today.

Yeah, that album is SUPER LAME; In a World of Time, or something like that. Homeboys is the turning point for Adam Again. Dig was the follow up for that, and was just as good. Perfecta continues the trend. Gene incorporated groove, blues, rock, funk, and a host of styles from Homeboys on. Here are some examples:

Mind you, this is a live recording off of someone's video camera

Same

Studio recording; the dissonance is intended to reflect the message of the song.

Anywho, they got better.

Cheers,
