On their "Nao" -album (acronym for "north atlantic oscillations") RinneRadio remains faithful to their style, mixing Jazz with elements more typical of electronic music and bringing influences from many other styles to their compositions as well. Tapani Rinne's saxophone is still the central element on most of the tracks, synths and percussions creating flowing soundscapes to the music. The atmosphere is very peaceful through the entire album, only "Zel" and "Affluenza" being a bit more funk-flavoured and danceable.
"Nao" was also RinneRadio's first one to use outside producers. Both Jori Hulkkonen and Veikka Erkola succeed very well in their task, bringing their own musical contribution to the album, but keeping it still coherent.
