If you do a Google you find lots of info on aliens and x-file stuff, which does have some affinity with the strange pictures on the covers.
For me (Bruce as well) the stand out track is the a-side 'Does It Matter Irene' starts with great guitar then has a strange kind of sound that draws you in, the more you play it the

Hi Jamfan, this blog is full of spooky coincidences. Every time I play Mothmen it gets better and better. I'm glad Bruce sent it.
All the best, Gary
Some info: The Mothmen were made up of guys who ended up as sidemen in a bunch of Manchester bands, most notably Simply Red but also the Albertos, Durutti Column and Suns of Arqa at times. They made a strong post-punk album, One Black Dot, for Do It in 1981 (strangely not on Discogs) and later worked with On-U Sound dubmeister Adrian Sherwood. Seem to remember there was an unreleased Simply Red/On-U Sound dub record early in their career that I reckon was just bound to have had these guys on it. Somebody's probably posting it on a blog somewhere even as I type. -- Stefan M. / Occupied Territories
