World Power
by Andrew HamiltonThis collection includes Snap!'s biggest hit, "The Power," as well as "Oops Up" (a remake/takeoff of the Gap Band's nonsensical funk riff "Oops Upside Your Head"). The choppy rhythms of "Cult of Snap" and "Believe the Hype" didn't receive much airplay in the States. Rapper Turbo B. has energy but his enunciation leaves a lot to be desired, and the thick British accent doesn't help. Penny Ford's telling vocal and the story line of "Mary Had a Baby" make it the most accessible cut on the CD.
