Welcome to Tomorrow is the third and most recent studio album by German Eurodance project Snap! It was released in 1994 on Arista/Ariola Records and made the top ten in Germany and Switzerland.[1][2]

Background

In 1993, Snap! producers Michael Münzing and Luca Anzilotti recruited Washington, D.C.-born singer Summer (Paula Brown) to front the act. The first single from the album was "Welcome to Tomorrow (Are You Ready?)" and was co-written by Brown. It was a top-ten hit in Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK, and went to number one in Finland. Three further singles were released: "The First the Last Eternity (Till the End)", "The World in My Hands", and "Rame", featuring Rukmani (Neela Ravindra).

Neil Spencer from The Observer wrote, "Silkier and more ambient than their string of Euro-dance hits, the German popsters' third album puts their futurist disco kitsch into mega-drive, with Bacofoil suits and android dreams."[6]
