tire swing in front of approaching storm clouds. Hindalong initially drew out the idea on a napkin for art director John Flynn, who then worked with photographer Susan Goines to bring the tableaux to life, as this was prior to the common use of digital tools for photo editing and compositing; it was "an expensive proposition" that the band estimated cost $3,000. As he did with the liner notes for Chase the Kangaroo, Hindalong hand-wrote the lettering for the front and back cover of the album. No photographs of the band members were featured on the front cover, and no studio album from the Choir has since. For the remastered 25th Anniversary Edition of the album released in 2015, the CD cover art featured an alternate full-color photograph of the diorama, while the vinyl release simply reproduced the original cover art. Release The original title for the album was "Laugh Loop," and this was even written on the final master tapes delivered to Myrrh. However, Willett insisted the band use another song title for the album, so "Circle Slide" was ultimately selected. The newly-retitled Circle Slide was released on October 23, 1990, on CD and cassette. The first single released from the album was the heavy, rhythm-driven "Restore My Soul," which peaked at No. 3 on the Christian rock charts on January 28, 1991, "an amazing feat for a song six and-a-half minutes long."

Although Circle Slide was more lyrically somber than Wide-Eyed Wonder, it ended up being the band's best-selling album for Myrrh. By the release of this album, Myrrh had inked a new distribution deal with Epic Records, and Epic released Circle Slide to mainstream record stores in April 1991. Unlike the custom EP that A&M worked to college rock stations for Wide-Eyed Wonder, Epic simply released "Restore My Soul" as a single to mainstream rock stations, which met with little success. The band's continued dissatisfaction with the contemporary Christian music industry where their music could only get limited exposure led Choir manager Paul Emery to issue a press release saying, "The band has grown frustrated with the constraints of a marketplace that values spiritual slogans over musical creativity." Hindalong would later deny that the band "hated Christian music and would never do it again," but
