Title: Wondering If This Is a Joke
Review: WARNING: This is more than a remix. It is a totally different album. The original 1960s version of Whipped Cream and Other Delights was not exactly a serious work of art, but it did sell extremely well. I have it on LP and play it occasionally to time travel back to the non-rock 'n' roll part of the 60s. In 2005 the album was remastered and now sounds excellent. Then this remix was released the following year, but it almost sounds like a parody of the original. Because Herb Alpert is capable of very good work (Rise is a fine example), I was hoping that this remix would update the original to the point where we might consider it almost a work of art. The exact opposite seems to be the case. This cd is not the least bit serious. So, I am thinking that it is a joke. Not a bad joke, just a joke. It is kind of funny. It is also kind of weird. I am glad that I got it from the library instead of buying it.
