Tales of Insanity

NOTE on audio formats and how to obtain audio players



Review in Black Channel radio show on Querfunk Karlsruhe

Die neue Produktion von Mental Obsessions, das Tape Tales of Insanity, kommt in ganz besonderer Aufmachung daher. Auf einer Silberpappplatte ist das 12-seitige 4-Farben-Booklet und das Tape aufgeschraubt! Musikalisch sind Mental Obsessions ausgereifter und besser beworden. Mystischer Elektro-Industrial, viel zu schade, daß dies nur auf einem Tape veröffentlicht wurde.
