Background
Rage in Eden was co-produced by Conny Plank like their previous two LPs. The abstract album artwork was designed by Peter Saville, better known for his collaborations with New Order. All re-issues of the album since 1981 however have different artwork, due to licensing problems concerning the original cover.

The remastered definitive edition, released September 22 2008, features a second disc containing rare and previously unreleased material. In addition to this, the original front cover artwork has been reinstated. The licensing of the original artwork currently only extends as far as the initial run of the physical release of the album (set at ten thousand units worldwide). Future editions feature the same artwork as used on the previous CD re-issue.

Singles
Only two singles were released from the album. Both hit the UK top twenty.

“The Thin Wall” (14 August 1981, #14 UK)
“The Voice” (29 October 1981, #16 UK)
