Pink Freud - Pink Freud Plays Autechre (2015)

Live album by Polish yass group from Gdansk - and yep, as per the album title and cover, every track is a rendering of an Autechre piece, performed by a jazz quartet with additional electronics.  This followed on from an earlier cover of Goz Quarter on Pink Freud's 2010 album Monster Of Jazz - bassist and bandleader Wojtek Mazolewski is a huge fan of Autechre, and described this project as the realisation of a dream.  Eight tracks written by the IDM duo whizz by with not much in the way of improvisation, but tons of energy making for an exhilarating set.  Can't fault this for being a unique idea that just kind of works in its own weird way.
