With much pleasure we present to you the release of brandnew mix of the first KONG album 'Mute Poet Vocalizer'.
The original album was released in 1990 by Peaceville Records (UK) and to celebrate this 25th anniversary Dirk de Vries (former KONG guitarist) remixed the album from the original mastertapes.
Mute Poet Vocalizer was recorded in two days in a 'live' set-up, with each musician in a corner of the room playing simultaneously onto 16 track tape. These recordings have been digitized and remixed with modern techniques and an up-to-date approach.
