Cloaca Maxima II (2004) is the second
compilation album by the
Finnish rock group
CMX , released seven years after their first compilation
Cloaca Maxima . The name
Cloaca Maxima means "Great Sewer" in
Latin , and was also the name of the band before it was shortened to CMX. The compilation consists of three CDs named Lyijy , Helium and Uraani respectively. The names of the CDs are all names of
chemical elements in
Finnish :
Lead ,
Helium and
Uranium . The compilation is divided between CDs in a similar way to the earlier Cloaca Maxima . Lyijy contains rock songs that CMX would usually play on stage, while Helium focuses on softer material. Uraani is reserved for B-sides of singles and some other CMX rarities. Three new songs were recorded exclusively for the compilation.
