new digital transcription, June 2019

Mental Anguish
Shot In The Dark

Originally released as a C60 cassette
in 1985
on the Harsh Reality Music label
Memphis, Tennessee

Visit a special informational web page about
Shot In The Dark
featuring a review by Jerry Kranitz
and an interview with Chris Phinney
www.haltapes.com/hr013-shot-in-the-dark.html

C. Phinney: Korg Poly-800 synth, Yamaha RX-15 drum machine, ARP Axxe synthesizer, Boss distortion, Ibanez delay pedal, ART Proverb 200 rack effects processor, Digitech 7.6 Time Machine rack delay sample, Boss Digital Delay 3.5 second sampler pedal

This archival reissue was created with the approval and full cooperation and participation of Harsh Reality Music label owner Chris Phinney.

Shot In The Dark by Mental Anguish is best experienced as complete 30-minute sides of the cassette tape, just like you would have heard it in 1985; therefore transcriptions of the entire cassette sides are included. Track separations into individual songs are approximate, and not always perfect.

I cannot praise this album enough. This album is absolutely terrifying! The many starts and stops creates this very h settling tension. Each start expands on the stopper idea previously. It’s like the music equivalent of walking through thick fog while passing out multiple times throughout trying to find a place to orientate yourself. There may or may not be something sinister in that fog, but you don’t want to stick around to find out. Bought the vinyl so I summon the fog demons through spe showhornwithteeth
