Signs of Change is a progressive rock album by After the Fire. Released 1978, after attempting to get a record contract, the band self produced their debut at a time when this was uncommon. To their credit, it sold out its initial 2,000 copy run within two weeks with limited media publicity. The band went on to change their musical direction, leaving behind most of the progressive stylistic markers and redefining themselves as new wave. With a contract from Epic they went on to more success throughout the 1980s.

They recorded mainly at ICC Studios in Eastbourne, England (engineers: Andy Kidd and Dave Aston).
