I was quite surprised to hear a proper IDM album on Planet Mu, a label which has veered into other genres as of late. In fact I was surprised to hear a proper IDM full-length at all, on any label; it seems that no one's really interested in 'classic' IDM anymore, perhaps because 'classic' IDM feels like a misnomer. The whole point of the genre, it seems, is to push the boundaries of what can be done with electronic instrumentation, and while this is all well and good, I still feel as if there should be a place (and there is a place, on some labels) for creative variations on the old themes; this is, after all, the bread and butter of virtually every other musical genre. While Mrs Jynx probably won't be making any top 10 lists, this is still a very listenable, playful, and straightforwardly melodic IDM album, and certainly worth a listen!
