![]() Even though the 31 minute epic on the demo-cassette gave a good impression of Erik de Vroomen’s artistic qualities they decided, to re-record the tape in a professional 24 track studio. You’ll find this interesting demo-performance of Sounds Of Passion in Chapter 2 of this deluxe 21st Anniversary Edition, so you can hear the growth and development, which the music has undergone. The name CODA didn’t yet exist though^ they called themselves Sequoia, but shortly afterwards they settled on CODA. Before the LP first saw the light of day the group had, in 1983, made a demo-cassette with a different line-up than on the LP. The most spectacular achievement of this period was, without doubt, the LP Sounds Of Passion, released by Boni Records in 1986 and still a much sought after album amongst sympho fans in the Netherlands and abroad. This was the start of a partnership, which would last for 16 years and would produce two legendary rock albums for the lovers of symphonic- and progressive rock music. "The history of the Dutch group CODA dates back to the beginning of 1980, when Erik de Vroomen and Ton Strik, who both lived in the small Dutch town of Wijchen, first came into contact with each other. Coda were a band created by the multi-instrumentist Erik De Vroomen.
