Discopolis is the sixth studio album by the Finnish rock group CMX.
With Discopolis, CMX took a different approach on recording with the goal of making the first entirely ProTools-based album in Finland. The basic concept was to build the songs from small pieces, emphasizing editing and production over playing and recording. The result was successful in sales (fans especially liked the song 'Nimetön', which means nameless in English) but received some negative critique in reviews.
