Mark Fry is perhaps best known for his debut album, the acid-folk benchmark 'Dreaming With Alice’, recorded in Rome in 1972. After a hiatus of almost four decades, in which Fry focused primarily on painting, he began recording again, with a critically acclaimed 2011 collaboration with The A. Lords, 'I Lived In Trees', and a further album inspired by the life of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, 'South Wind, Clear Sky', both released on Second Language.

The songs on 'Not On The Radar' are surely among the finest in his now considerable oeuvre. Whether it’s the touchingly ingenuous, vaguely Bill Fay-like ‘Only Love’ (a sort of ‘love song to love’) or the similarly numinous and romantic ‘Where Would I Be’ with its haunting choral coda, the aching nocturne ‘Daybreak’ or the atmospheric, piano-dappled ballads ‘Where the Water Meets the Land’ and ‘Big Red Sun’, this is timeless, personal and genuinely moving songwriting given wing by some beautifully restrained, simpatico ensemble playing.
