And the World Was Gone' is one of the standout mood pieces from Snow Ghosts' debut album, A Small Murmuration (HTH 006CD/LP): a track that pins a sense of raw unease to an acoustic guitar riff and a cello through Augustus Ghost's moving vocal, and the remixers on the EP each interpret that feeling in their own way. Roly Porter (one-half of confounding dubstep pioneers, Vex'd) amplifies the track's darkness on his remix, while drum 'n' bass maestro Calibre emphasizes the melancholy in the track's melody, and in-demand Bristol producer Kahn, part of the city's blossoming Young Echo collective, provides the most subtly-arresting cover version imaginable.
