The Cult of Snap! is a compilation album from German Eurodance group Snap!.

Following Plaything's remixed version of their single "Do You See The Light" in 2002, Snap! re-worked and re-mixed their singles with various artists', leading the release of the album, "The Cult of Snap!" in 2003. Three additional singles were released; "Rhythm Is a Dancer (2003)", "The Power (Of Bhangra)" and "Ooops Up (2003)" and all charted in Germany.

The album peaked at #5 in Norway.^[1]

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 really love the group. This German release collects well over a dozen of those remixes and adds a bonus disc containing the original versions, doubling as a greatest-hits set." ^[2]
