first caught wind of the name rinneradio through my good friend jyri lehtinen who is quick to recommend good electronic music by finnish acts. i was given the skinny that the project revolves around finnish saxophonist tapani rinne and that members of the ensemble are interchangeable. the music can be described as fusion jazz but depending on what mode rinne is feeling and who he's collaborating with it comes off different.
this track is from 2001 album "nao" which has rinne working with producers veikki erkola and jori hulkkonen. the album as whole is quite a mixed bag and it's quite audible in which tracks are produced by who. i prefer the hulkkonen produced track but do really the ercola produced "repo" and the title track.
"atlandisk" can be described as an garnier's "the man with the red face" meets choice's "acid eiffel" but with bleek arctic melodics. built around a shuffled percussion groove with a chunky acidlike bassline, the track is dominated with lighter synth sounds, long pads and tapani rinne who adds romantic like saxophone accents to the track.
rinne takes the backseat in this track until the break where there is a solo moment but it is clear that track is all abou the groove. someone else might say there is a whole lot of detroit influence in this track but i can't hear it. i really think it's more garnier-inspired rather than juan atkins.
