Started as the great innovators of hardcore by transforming very diverse styles into something punkishly intense,
and later duly became chart-toppers on EMI..
Out on Bad Vugum:
Raivo 7" EP
(Bad-5)
"The best HC EP to come out of Finland." -Moshable.
"Captures the very essence as to why CMX were recognized as
one of Finland's leaders in hardcore" -Grim Humour (UK).
Kolmikärki LP
(Bad-10)
"CMX is as good as all those bands from England or America.. So much different than the usual monotonous Finnish HC.. Sometimes folksy & methodical, and other times hard rockin' & solid thrashin', tight enough to have all NoMeansNo-niks take note." -Discorder (Canada). "From opera-like howling to tribal chants then hardcore thrash tunes into Minutemen jazz - way freaked out!" -Flipside (USA). "This is gonna drive you mental, for sure.. The best Scandinavian HC LP for ages" -Moshable (DK).
"Kolmikärki" + "Raivo" on one CD
(Bad-10)
"Kolmikärki Gold" CD
(Bad-10)
Now re-mastered to full turbo sound effect – and with a special bonus: “Johannes Kastaja” EP, the band’s
rare debut release from 1988. Includes the "Raivo" EP (Bad-5).
Tanssitauti 7" EP
(Bad-15)
"..tackle a greater area (than "Raivo" EP) and virtually come across like Rollins Band thrashing it out w/ "Junkyard" -era Birthday Party" -Grim Humour.
Veljeskunta LP
(Bad-19)
"Not as freaked out as previous LP, but more melodic and powerful.. A brilliant LP and definitely one of 1991's best!" -Moshable. "CMX is as important as Radiopuhelimet for the "Open minded" -style in hardcore, but with a cooler and less hectic approach" -Zap (GER).
"Veljeskunta " + "Tanssitauti " on one CD
(Bad-19)
"Veljeskunta Gold" CD
(Bad-19)
Another much needed re-master, with a bonus of “Musiikin ystävälliset kasvot” EP, the band’s last
indie hit single from ’91, in it’s originally intended 4-song format. Includes the "Tanssitauti" EP (Bad-15).
Musiikin ystävälliset kasvot 7"
(Bad-22)
Solid CMX class, with even more barrier-breaking
going on on the flipside.
