+               <p>&ldquo;
+               Here’s a secret: I love recorded music, possibly more than live music
+               and very few bands that I love sound better than their album to me.
+               The Madeira sounded better live, and this recording of them live
+               sounds better than they did live... It’s an absolutely glorious amount
+               of noise, a gigantic wall of sound that’ll leave you thinking “whoa”
+               in-between tracks...[T]he awe-inspiring climax of the event [was] when
+               they were joined by Johnpaul Balak and John Blair for a ridiculous 5
+               guitar massacre.... It really does sound massive and ferocious, and
+               not to mention they’re played at a faster tempo than their album
+               versions...  This is a really incredible live record and perhaps the
+               best way to hear some of the greatest hits of one of the greatest surf
+               bands."

+               <p>&ldquo;
+               Center of the Surf is music that bursts the boundaries of its genre;
+               it’ll connect with anyone who loves rock composition and performance
+               at its highest level... The Madeira’s drive and intensity never flag.
+               Ivan Pongracic’s scorching lead lines and Patrick O’Connor’s
+               unflagging rhythm work serve up all the guitar you can stand and more,
+               breaking through to surf nirvana; Todd Fortier on bass and Dane Carter
+               on drums pump up the adrenaline, barreling through with unstoppable
+               power and momentum....  And just when it seems Center of the Surf
+               can’t get any more exciting, The Madeira are joined onstage by John
+               Blair on second rhythm guitar and Jonpaul Balak on second bass guitar.
+               The results on “Tribal Fury”, “Sandstorm” and “Intruder” are even more
+               immersive: the thickened texture, intensified groove, and vaulting
+               solo lines both amp up the thrills and bring out the lush romanticism
+               at the core of the band’s melodies.  The audience at Surf Guitar 101’s
+               2017 convention erupts with delighted applause and encouragement at
+               every opportunity throughout the Madeira’s set — and their reaction’s
+               on the money! Recorded and mixed by Beach Boys go-to producer Mark
+               Linnet, this is a gleaming, glorious winner of an album
+               &rdquo;</p>
