A Perfect Mystery is an album by the Legendary Pink Dots, released in 2000. Production The band tried a different method to recording on A Perfect Mystery, working on the songs together in the studio instead of constructing them from ideas already developed by individual members. Critical reception The Washington Post wrote that the album "finds the Dots in good form, combining contemporary electronics with '70s jazz-rock touches in the service of goth-cabaret-folk-rock songs." The Plain Dealer wrote that "the dense, highly textured sounds reveal the band members' interests in the more adventurous aspects of techno and industrial music, but the music feels purposeful, not indulgent." The Times-Picayune thought that A Perfect Mystery alternates "pulsing, up-tempo rockers with moodier pieces interlaced with spooky keyboards and an effects-laden saxophone."
