May 16, 2016Twenty-five years into his undaunted career, he has created an album that brings him proudly from behind the curtain and into the foreground for all to appreciate.
-
May 13, 2016For Beans' nightmarish spoken narrative, Pritchard makes like a member of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop with intensifying patterns of organ filigrees and electronics that blip and swarm.
-
May 13, 2016Under 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.
-
The WireMay 9, 2016Recognising that electronica isn't bound to depict the future any longer has given Pritchard the key to his most consistent and enjoyable work yet. [May 2016, p.54]
-
MojoMay 4, 2016Each track on Under The Sun has its own unique, haunting spirit, lingering long after the final note decays. [Jun 2016, p.95]

UncutMay 4, 2016This tasteful mix of analogue keys and distorted drum machines is precisely what we've come to expect from Pritchard. It's when he wanders off-piste with Bibio, Thom Yorke and Linda Perhacs that the record comes alive, and these instrumental tracks then play a vital supporting role. [Jun 2016, p.80]

May 13, 2016Deeply atmospheric and richly impressionistic, Under the Sun is an easy album to disappear into.

-
May 20, 2016It's a sinuous and, at times, difficult listen, but these songs are supple enough to sink into, given space and the necessary inclination. It's dance music, sure, just not as we know it.
-
Q MagazineMay 4, 2016It's an album that will send you to sleep, and to dreams of another dimension. [Jul 2016, p.114]
