Second studio album with hits When, Exodus, and Looking At You. Album is sequenced / partially mixed.
- Sony / Columbia had already assigned catalog numbers to the US release – CK 67545 for CD and CT 67545 for tape – when it was pulled at the last minute. Instead, the same year Looking At You was released in the US as a single. In 1999, the album finally came out in the US on Whirling Records, with three bonus tracks – mixes of When, Looking At You, and Who Will Love Me Now (sadly, mislabeled as Who Will Love Me More).
- Ice Screems is listed as I Scream on promo tape (XPC 4139). For Maddened Prophets is listed as For Mad Prophets on promo tape (XPC 4139). CD promo, released about the same time, shows correct track titles.
- Amazon “CD On Demand” service was discontinued sometime in 2020.
SUNSCREEM HQ notes (2018)
- With their second album “Change or Die”, Sunscreem showed their unique ability to combine underground attitudes and underground rhythms with a full-blooded pop sensibility. The album contains the two enormous club anthems “When” and “Looking At You” which sealed their reputation on the burgeoning American rave scene and kept them busing playing live in America for the best part of a year.
The message was also spreading across Europe and record release, tours and festivals followed in Belgium, Holland, Finland, Norway and Denmark.
“Change or Die” contains four UK top 30 singles including Exodus and the ever poignant “White Skies”.
