Some of the songs bridge the gap between Gowan and Loverboy by mixing majestic (but monumentally dated) synth sounds with crotch rock vocals and attitude. Nova is at his best on poppier numbers like \"Ball and Chain,\" \"Foolin' Yourself,\" and \"Rumours of You,\" which also serve to offset some of his loopier pretensions. These are hinted at in the J.G. Ballard-ish song title of the synthstrumental \"Armageddon (Race Cars) \/Armageddon\" and explained more fully in the anonymously written (Nova's mom?) liner notes. Still, however dated these recordings may be--and Nova makes Billy Idol sound relevant--they do possess a fetching innocence. It's easy to imagine the young Nova just starting out, ensconced in a recording studio after midnight, playing all the instruments for the demos that would become his debut and dreaming of living out his fantasy life. --Shawn Conner      Product Description      Nova, Aldo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 074644852226\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0074644852226\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51460532732201,"sku":"ER-3JPZ-TNE9","price":5.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/6225\/6681\/files\/51az8Cn5BoL.jpg?v=1762032005","url":"https:\/\/konnichiwa.ca\/fr\/products\/aldo-nova-a-portrait-of-aldo-nova-cd-used","provider":"こんにちはマート | KON NICHIWA MART","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
