80
Somewhat fragmented yet totally spellbinding.

Under The Sun is Mark Pritchard’s most consistent piece of work in some time, one that is beautifully conceived and produced with restraint and an overall vision that, most of the time, only an artist of considerable experience can muster.
80
The strength of Under the Sun rests with his continued spirit of collaboration and his eclectic style, recognizing the endless possibilities of infusing pop elements into electronic music’s abstract spirit.

It is a slow-burner of a record with much to offer, despite its puzzlying and not-so-accessible structure that takes its time while engulfing the listener ... read more
Under the Sun es de esos materiales para perderse, con espacios de transiciones epilépticas, disparadas en forma de sorpresa, para recabar en otra cascada de mareas dispersas, y luego recogerlas para andar y andar. No hay significado, es sólo seguir la corriente.
