MUTE launches ‘An Introduction To…’ Compilations.
Neither a “best of” nor a “greatest hits"but rather a series of compilations giving a revealing introduction to the world of Mute’s artists.
First to be out are: Balanescu Quartet and I Start Counting / Fortran 5 / Komputer.
“This is the Balanescu Quartet” is a 12-track album including re-interpretations of Kraftwerk classics and seminal works composed and selected by the Balanescu Quartet, one of the most visionary string quartets of our time.
“Konnecting” is a 15-track collection of electro-pop songs bringing together for the first time the works and three guises of electronic pioneers David Baker and Simon Leonard - I Start Counting, Fortran 5, Komputer.
