Review
Moving from independent Bad Vugum label to international EMI might be a deed that many hardcore fans surely won't accept. However, this album, succeeding the excellent Veljeskunta, is definitely a must-get for all hard rock fans. Aurinko, in its own way, is almost like Veljeskunta, but with better production and smoother sound. CMX have became even more distorted guitar-driven, which is good actually, when it fits perfectly to Yrjänä's great lyrics and manic ambition. There are actually no bad songs on this album. CMX have offered a thick package of post-punk hard rock music that can't be forgotten easily. ~ Antti J. Ravelin, Rovi| Auringonsäde/Pommisuoja (2011 Album by Ville Leinonen) | |

Aurinko (1992) is an album by the Finnish rock group CMX. The word "Aurinko" means "The Sun" in Finnish. The album cover depicts a cross section of a pineapple.
The album was the first to mark a considerable move towards more mainstream rock from the band's hardcore roots, with more streamlined approach to songwriting and distinctibly more vocal singing style in most tracks. Also, Aurinko featured one of their biggest future live hits, "Ainomieli".
In a City magazine interview in 2005, when asked about which CMX song should never have been made, A. W. Yrjänä has said: "On Aurinko there's 'Timanttirumpu', that makes no sense at all. It's just growling and drum playing".[3]
