Isohaara is the 9th studio album by the Finnish rock group CMX. The album is named after Isohaara power plant in Tornio, where the band hails from. The band spent six months in the studio because of the chosen songwriting method: the songs were written and rehearsed at the studio under constant perfecting and re-arranging. Musically the album is lighter and more accessible than its predecessor, the over 100-minute Prog-epoch Dinosaurus Stereophonicus.
