+               Again the band pushes the boundaries of the surf genre... and the
+               result is a truly stunning album. This time out the Madeira seem more
+               driven, like a band on a mission, and as a result "Ancient Winds" is
+               their best effort yet.  Simply put, this is top shelf by one of the
+               best bands out there, and you gotta ask yourself, just how good can
+               these guys get? Highly recommended!!!

+               This is the band’s fourth CD release and probably their most
+               ambitious and best-recorded to date. Everybody wants to tag this a
+               “surf instrumental” record, but don't let that sway you from checking
+               this out if you consider surf music long outdated and lacking of much
+               contemporary verisimilitude. These four guys are consummate musicians
+               who bring a great deal of heaviness to the party [and] truly raise the
+               standard for non-traditional instrumental rock that’s being recorded
+               and played live these days, surf or otherwise.

+               If any album this year was burdened by enormous expectations, it
+               certainly would be the most recent release by The Madeira, a surf
+               music quartet at the top of its genre. Fortunately, the album meets
+               those high expectations. "Ancient Winds" shows the richness that can
+               be generated by this instrumental genre. After touring through the
+               sandy deserts of the Sahara as well as the tribal jungles, this new
+               sea journey is an example of how to tell stories without the need for
+               words, but more importantly, without falling into clichés or blatant
+               copy like so many groups that abound today.

+               The Madeira take listeners on a journey around the Mediterranean and

+               reverb in the guitars and dynamic contrasts by the drums, “Ancient
+               Winds” is an excellent example of contemporary surf rock.
