Title: whipped again...
Review: The original version of this album (and the album cover, natch) was one of my favorites as a young boy... my folks had all of Herb's albums. This new version updates the originals into the modern "lounge age" without destroying the original melodies in the process. One might even ask for more experimentation in some cases (the "Taste of Honey remix" for example). Standouts here include the "Whipped Cream" remix, "Green Peppers," and "Love Potion #9" (with great vocals by Ozomatli). Herb himself even overlays trumpet on a few of the tracks, a nice touch. Overall, the mood is fun, relaxed, and, paired with the original album, gives you a great "taste" of how today's electronica pairs with yesteryear's pop tunes.
Is the review positive or negative?
