Reviews Andy Kellman of AllMusic gave the album 3 out of 5 stars, saying; "Unless you haven't been paying attention (which would be understandable), you know that Snap!'s core hits -- "The Power," "Rhythm Is a Dancer," "Ooops Up!," "Mary Had a Little Boy"—have been run through just about every kind of club remix you can imagine. Downtempo, bhangra, trance, filter house, and several other stylistic trends from the past decade have had their way with Snap!, and the results are of interest only to those who real ...

Fragma
Fragma are a German vocal trance music group, originally comprising three producers. The group was successful in the early 2000s when they released several singles that charted successfully across Europe, especially the United Kingdom and Ireland, but also found some success in the United States and Australia.

Its accompanying music video, made with Softimage 3D, took three months to finish. Critical reception Larry Flick from ''Billboard'' noted that this time, the act that has had hits with " The Power" and " Rhythm Is A Dancer" "jumps on the bandwagon with a track that fiddles with the formula by adding choral oohs and aahs to the background, as well as a line of racing, futuristic synths. This makes the single sound different enough to jump ahead of the increasingly crowded pack and score instant (and active) play." A reviewer from '' Manila Standard'' described it as "cyberpunk ...

Critical reception Alan Jones from ''Music Week'' wrote, "The most consistent Euro act of the past few years, Snap! are back with the oddly-titled "Rame", an excellent song on which they venture into the ethnic dance arena inhabited by Deep Forest and Enigma (German band), Enigma. A throbbing dance beat overlaid with softer tones provide the backing to a wailing exotic female vocalist. A deserved hit." James Hyman from the ''Record Mirror, RM'' Dance Update rated it four out of five. He added, "Well-layered and exceedingly well-produ ...

Cult Of Snap
In modern English, ''cult'' is usually a pejorative term for a social group that is defined by its unusual religious, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs and rituals, or its common interest in a particular personality, object, or goal. This sense of the term is controversial and weakly defined—having divergent definitions both in popular culture and academia—and has also been an ongoing source of contention among scholars across several fields of study. Richardson, James T. 1993. "Definitions of Cult: From Sociological-Technical to Popular-Negative." ''Review of Religious Research'' 34(4):348–56. . . An older sense of the word involves a set of religious devotional practices that are conventional within their culture, related to a particular figure, and often associated with a particular place. References to the "cult" of a particular Catholic saint, or the imperial cult of ancient Rome, for example, use this sense of the word. While the literal and original sense of ...
