In a few words:

This album was a pleasant surprise for me. Let's start with the typical part: CODA is an Australian ensemble that is miles away from the typical definition of string ensemble. Starting from the classical strings, they have enrich their music with electronic beats, pop melodies and post rock sounds, resulting in something really beautiful and innovative. It is very difficult to describe their music, which is a mix of classical, electronic, pop and rock music. All these different music genres are harmonically bonded. The album is instrumental and has a cinematic atmosphere. CODA's music - even without words - is able to express powerful emotions. I will stop describing the album, and I will just tell you this: Give it a chance!
