KONG release 25th Anniversary Remix Album
In 1990 Peaceville Records (UK) released KONG's first album 'Mute Poet Vocalizer'. 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.
World wide digital release March 18th, limited edition vinyl May 2016.
