Having Herb's "Passion Dance" album and other artist's projects in DTS 5.1 or DVD-Audio, I would fully agree with Steve Sidoruk on a possible Surround Sound project. Imagine something like "The Sea Is My Soil" lushly remixed, with those strings filling the room, with Herb's trumpet discreetly coming from the center channel or at least nicely split throughout the front soundstage. Fantastic!!
My feeling about "REWHIPPED" is that the original album should have been only used as a platform. Meaning the main "hit" cuts and just a few others forming the heart of it, with other well known TJB cuts that were better suited to remixing forming the rest of the album! That way I don't have to leap for my remote to skip by a hip-hop polka!!!!
Better yet, Herb or whatever producer/collaborator he hooks up with next need to simply start fresh with 10-12 new cuts, and pair him with a dream list of artists-in the mold of the album that put Carlos Santana back on the map a few years back(Remember "Smooth", and all those Grammy's!). I really wouldn't mind a Herb Alpert-Sting or a Herb with Rob Thomas duet for example. But celebrating that classic Alpert sound. It's time!!
