RinneRadio, Ø - Pfft flac album

RinneRadio's eponymous debut album was released in 1988 and it featured a stellar cast of Finland's current jazz elite, including Raoul Björkenheim and Iro Haarla. The second album Dance and Visions was released in 1990 and the album featured the Sami yoik singer Wimme Saari for the first time in RinneRadio's history. Dance and Visions also introduced Jari Kokkonen as a member of RinneRadio. He continued in the group until 2001. In 1997 they released another EP, called pfft which was a collaboration with Pan Sonic's Mika Vainio, based on an earlier live remix project where Vainio remixed one of RinneRadio's live shows. In 1997 they also played a show at Knitting Factory in New York City from where the audio signal was sent live to Finland and Pori Jazz Festival where DJ Spooky made a live interpretation of the concert for the festival audience.

RinneRadio offers fearless forays into an eclectic and broadly jazz-based musical world. Despite the multiplexity, RinneRadio has never lost its musical thread. In fact, it has just steamed straight ahead and further developed its musical output: techno, ethno, jazz, rock and other elements are more tightly interwoven than ever before. The result is visionary music of international proportions that defies all attempts at classification.

One of the more interesting twists on a standard live show, RinneRadio's Pfft features the group live in Helsinki, remixed on-the-fly by Panasonic's Mika Vainio. The result charts an intriguing path between each artist's style: the high-flying electronics of RinneRadio are constantly brought to earth by Vainio's pulse of electronic minimalism.
