434 is the second album by Reinless, a Jazz Fusion Band based in Lithuania. Reinless made its debut at the Broma Jazz festival in Kėdainiai in 2014. Its fiery music had already staggered audiences at several Jazz festivals in Lithuania.
Jievaras Jasinskis, a gifted trombonist and composer, gathered his favorite musicians in order to realize his most daring creative visions. He writes rhythmic and vibrant music – a blend of Funk, Soul, Rock and Jazz improvisations.
The album was recorded to Analog Tape and originally released on Stereo CD and 45 rpm Vinyl. 434 has now been mastered by Vladas Straupas at Analog Father Studios especially for Native DSD. The Analog Master Tape was transferred directly to Stereo DSD 128 on a Korg MR-2000S Analog to Digital Converter and Studio Recorder. No equalizers, limiters, compressors or software filters are used in the production. This marks the album’s debut in Stereo DSD.
Analog Father tells us “Reinless frontman and composer is Jievaras Jasinkis. In 2014, Jievaras Jasinkis, a musical mind behind the sound, got a saucy question, don‘t you think it‘s about time you did your own thing?
Until then his work mainly consisted of arrangements for various bands, orchestras and so on. Throughout the years as a trombone musician, he met and befriended his future band mates. All that was left to do when asked that question is say yes. And so the story began and Reinless was founded.
The friendship and support of the bandmates is essential and without them Reinless could be curbed. Broma Jazz became the debut stage for the band and every year since then they return here high-spirited. Reinless also performed in Vilnius Mama Jazz, Birštonas Jazz, ŠIauliai Jazz, Vilnius Jazz, Kaišiadorys Jazz, Nida Jazz.”

The album 434 by Reinless is a true Jazz Fusion gem that takes on a new life in this format. The band’s musicianship is stunning. There is an organic virtuosity where every instrument has its own space and air. The musical passages move with a mastery that evokes the best of funk and soul, yet with a creative freedom that only avant-garde jazz allows.
Special recognition goes to Vladas Straupas at Analog Father Studios. His work transferring the Analog Master Tape directly to DSD is flawless. He has managed to preserve that warmth and dynamics often lost in the digital realm, allowing us to hear the musicians’ original intent with total transparency. It is an artistic delight that honors both the technical skill and the spirit of analog recording.

El álbum 434 de Reinless es una verdadera joya del Jazz Fusión que cobra una vida nueva en este formato. La musicalidad de la banda es asombrosa; se siente un virtuosismo orgánico donde cada instrumento tiene su propio espacio y aire. Los pasajes musicales transitan con una maestría que evoca lo mejor del funk y el soul, pero con una libertad creativa que solo el jazz de vanguardia permite.
Mención especial merece el trabajo de Vladas Straupas en Analog Father Studios. Su labor al transferir la cinta maestra analógica directamente a DSD es impecable. Ha logrado preservar esa calidez y dinámica que a menudo se pierde en lo digital, permitiéndonos escuchar la intención original de los músicos con una transparencia total. Es un deleite artístico que honra tanto la técnica como el espíritu de la grabación analógica.
