The Grey Album

It’s an age-old question: does the perfect remix truly exist? Danger Mouse’s The Grey Album provides one of the most radical - and controversial - of answers. Remix one of The Beatles’ most famous LPs, The White Album, laced with selected a cappellas by Jay-Z and you obtain a critically acclaimed bootleg which, despite some incoherences, manages to provide striking glimpses into the endless possibilities - and beauty - inherent to remixing.

Think about it. Jay-Z’s a cappella album was purposely brought out to inspire people from all over the world to create a new backdrop to his lyrics. Aesop Rock has done the same thing, as well as putting out tracks and throwing contests to see who will remix them best. With SongCooker, you’ll soon be able to download those tracks and try your own hand at it!
