For this EP, Steve Adey takes the last track from 2006’s debut album All Things Real, ‘Mississipi’, and hands it over to three remixers. The results are predictably mixed. But in a good way.

First up is Kramer. That’s Mark, not Kosmo, co-founder of Bongwater, erstwhile Butthole Surfers and Ween bassist, and producer of, among others, Dot Allison, Joy Zipper, and Low.  Favouring a low-key, minimalist approach, Kramer turns the song into a modern hymn.

Elsewhere, Americana’s Sweet Billy Pilgrim offer a noodling-heavy interpretation, initially suggesting that Adey recorded the song in the vicinity of a typing pool before the introduction of a wah-wah pedal shatters that image. Lastly, Eno enthusisasts A Marble Calm re-imagine ‘Mississippi’ as a film soundtrack, one full of foreboding. Mississipi, wouldn’t you know, is a Native American term for “great river”; likewise there’s nothing insignificant about Steve Adey’s latest release.
