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.

Alan Jones from Music Week wrote, "There's a distinct softening of tones, with some competent pop vignettes, though others, such as 'It's Not Over' from the movie Neverending Story III, are a disappointment." Neil Spencer from The Observer noted, "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."
