Press Reviews
SA ROCK DIGEST ISSUE #159 by Brian Currin

MIKE DE JAGER - DREAM (Independent)
'Dream' is a 6-track demo CD from Mike de Jager who is currently living
(and playing) in England. All the songs are guitar-driven instrumentals in
a great blues-rock style.
Mike's obvious influences include Joe Satriani, Santana, the blues-era Gary
Moore and possibly SA's own Mauritz Lotz. 'The Chug Chug Song' chugs along
nicely, and 'The Dream' is very trance-y, but the highlight is the 7 minute
'Oh Why?'. Rock on Mike.
