I can't believe no one has anything to say about this album. I got it when it came out, it looks like it now has a different cover. It is a powerful debut album, with something for everyone. It blends rap, rock, dance, r&b in a way no one had done before. I hate rap, and I love this album. It is not full of the twisted hate issues of rap, it is not the teeny bopper themes of so much rock, it is the soul searching (with some fun and self-humor thrown in) that only people like The The, Haddaway, Sylvester, Laurie Anderson, and Peter Gabriel (who tends to be more morose), David Byrne, Brian Ferry, Eurythmics, and Anne Clark can do. (Ok, there's others). They all have their own styles, and Snap! has theirs. If you appreciate the artists for what they say as much as the music they put out, you need to have this album!

I have not been able to find this CD anywhere, I love it. The song the power is the greatest dance song, I am so glad i found it on cd

Came in fine condition Many Thanks, Have been looking for this album for quite some time. The song Cult Of Snap is very hard to find

I heard this song from the Perfect Weapon movie and it really has a nice beat. This mp3 version had religious chorus i was not aware of until after i downloaded it so it didn't have the same feeling as in the movie.

One of the best techno house dance music groups of all times,SNAP is revolutionary in all aspects.Anzilotti & Munzing have been on this road called success for over 10 years.That I know it all started when both formed a house music group called 16 BIT ,who generated a hit called HI SCORE (it's TUBULAR !).This track is full of ATARI bleeps,powerful vocals,Japanese like chants ( a sample of this is found on EXTERMINATE(DG MIX),which is available on SNAP!ATTACK - the (brilliant) REMIXES) .Then,a year later or so they introduced SNAP to the world.And the world would never be the same.All nations,discos,radio stations,DJs and MTV(I don't like it at all) discovered the POWER of SNAP!All the tracks here became great hits,except the last one,which is also a must.Rapper Turbo B is as good as Chuck D of Public Enemy(of course,he pays homage to him all the time.Chuck D and Turbo B are the best)and the mesmerizing,hypnotic beats,dazzling vocals and instrumental/DJ work are simply among the best in DANCE MUSIC.Every decent dance music compilation features at least one SNAP masterpiece (generally THE POWER or RHYTHM IS A DANCER).If you still don't know the POWER of SNAP start listening to this,and then after becoming addicted to SNAP,enjoy the other SNAP ALBUMS and gorgeous REMIXES.

Only 1 track out of 8 is worthwhile. Which is "The Power". The other songs were a waste of time. I got caught up in the hype
back in 1990. Finally clearing out my old collection & selling it
on Ebay in 2005. Thank goodness for MP3.

But the rest of Snap's material is just ok. Were it not for The Power i'd probably rate this as a 2 star disc
