Inner Revolution is the sixth solo album by Adrian Belew, originally released in 1992. Recorded in the wake of Belew's divorce from his first wife Margaret, the album is a collection of 1960s inspired pop songs. Along with his trademark guitar, Belew plays bass guitar, drums and occasional keyboards. Several other musicians appear, including Bears drummer Chris Arduser, acoustic bassist Mike Barnett, and a string quartet on "Big Blue Sun". Inner Revolution was re-released in 2003 by Wounded Bird Records.
