Welcome to Tomorrow is the third 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.[4]
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).

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."[8] 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."[10]
