Download 808s & Heartbreak remix album
Max Justus reworks eight Kanye tracks
We're still not quite sure how we feel about Kanye West's 808s & Heartbreak. The relentless Auto-Tuned vocals can certainly grate, yet the album also possesses a certain wonky, naïve charm.
If you want to hear it from a different perspective - some of it, anyway - check out US electronic artist Max Justus's recent remix project. He's taken eight of the songs from 808s and put his own spin on them.
The results are definitely worth a listen, whether you're a fan of the original record or not.
You can download the album now.
