Alligator Crystal Moth was the name of the tape exchange duo of Michael Donnelly (Brothers of the Occult Sisterhood, Terracid, et al) and Brad Rose (The North Sea, The Golden Oaks, Digitalis Recordings supremo). Reviewer Tony Dale hit the mark in describing their second release Solis as a cross between pure tribal-hippie freakdom after the fashion of Amon Düül the First and a hazy morning stroll through a Moroccan Souk, as produce stalls unfold like exotic flowers amid the tendrils of kif smoke. It’s a magic release. As well, new releases from Ishmael Cormack, Loris S. Said and Claire Deak & Tony Dupé.
