"Guitarist, producer and all-rounder Rob McDade has produced his own little (and I use that term lightly) ode to the wondrous guitar on Earthrock. An album that is strictly a collection of instrumental guitar rock, it is used as a medium to take you through the life of a guitar and the life it breathes through Rob. The results may be of limited appeal, but fans of progressive guitar sounds should find something a genuine interest here.

There’s quite a range on offer; from the distorted country sounds of Wildwood Hillbilly Thrash to the funkified Funk Face, psychedelic prog rock tracks Take It Away, Los Robos and Wildsnake, and the subdued sounds of Otherworld and Wildwood Acoustic, ending with the bluesy Rob’s Blues. One key highlight is the 10-minute epic Dinosaur; an eerily dark soundscape that gains momentum as it goes along, escalating toward a furore and utilising an awesome riff.

Few genres of music go untapped on this release, so extra kudos to Rob since he’s the sole musician, playing everything from electric guitar, acoustic guitar, classical guitar, electric bass, drum machines, keyboards and samples. This 14-track CD is a recommended piece of listening to all fans of guitar." - Penni Pappas, Rip It Up Magazine (#718, 2003)
