Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

If Dave Davies did nothing more than create the slash-and-burn power chords of the Kinks' "You Really Got Me", he'd still earn a place in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. As it is, the younger Davies brother has accomplished much more. Bug, his first studio album in over 20 years finds Ray's frequently overshadowed sibling reviving that rather charming 70s device: the concept album--the plot here revolving around extraterrestrial visitation and brain implantation. Davies brings the idea of benign aliens a little closer in a collection that recalls some of the best trends of the 60s and 70s. He uses a rock template that harks back to post-Tommy Who ("The Lie"), Mott the Hoople ("Whose Fooling Who") and Deep Purple ("It Ain't over Till It's Done"), sounding rather anachronistic as a result. The songs are engaging and show Davies to be a writer of considerable skill and wit, but they're somewhat stuck in the way-back machine. --Jaan Uhelszki


Album Description

Bug is one of the most important releases ever by Angel Air Records. In our seven years of existance we have released around 180 albums and as with all of our releases they are a labour of love. However with Bug we have not only a great AOR album but also three live bonus tracks Death Of A Clown, Susannahs Still Alive, Dead End Street, which in some reviewers opinions are worth the price of the CD alone!

Listen to the track The Lie and experience one of the greatest songs written with some incredible guitar playing . Dave Davies should be heard by everyone

5.0 out of 5 stars Best studio album, 29 Oct 2004
By G. Eggens - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is easily the best studio album Dave Davies recorded and it deserves a greater audience. It is ironic that Dave chose to record a concept album because in the mid seventies he and fellow band mates in The Kinks struggled with bandleader Ray Davies to record a straightforward rock album.
Brother Dave however did not fall into the trap of writing songs to explain actions but just collected a number of tracks around a central theme. The styles range from hard rocking to acoustic, but also goes into the realms of trance. Some tracks displays Dave's sense of humour. Not bad for a 50+ rocker. Kudos for Angel Air to release this album in the UK.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great rock album, 11 Jul 2009
I'm a long time Kinks fan (second-generation) and recently decided on a whim to order 'Bug' with my CD order. Good decision.

I thought it would rock, but it really rocks. There are the trademark guitars, vocals and super back-up vocals, but it's also delicate in places (such as 'Flowers in the rain') and experimental. ('Bug', 'De-Bug')
Then there is some of the sentimentality and nostalgia that seems to run in the Davies-family blood ('Fortis Green').

It makes for an interesting mix and an album well worth checking out if you're a fan of intelligent, dynamic rock music.
