| | Aldo Nova Twitch CD Aldo Nova Discography of CDs
Aldo Nova helped create 1980s pop-metal with his stunning self-titled 1982 debut. Driven by the hit single "Fantasy," Aldo Nova sold two million copies. The follow-up, 1983's Subject: Aldo Nova, was a departure in that it was a loose concept album. It was meticulously crafted, yet adventurous. Portrait Records brass didn't like it and didn't promote it to Nova's satisfaction. And it only sold 500,000 copies. This led to a problem with 1985's Twitch. In a 1991 interview, Nova said the disappointing commercial performance of Subject: Aldo Nova caused his record company to force him to use outside songwriters and devise a slicker, softer, more keyboard-heavy sound. This ultimatum angered and disappointed Nova, who is something of a one-man band as a songwriter, arranger, producer, guitarist, and keyboardist. Keyboards were integral to Nova's early sound, but he could also fire off some meaty guitar riffs and solos. Nova said he hated everything about the Twitch experience, and the album reflects that. It's utterly formulaic and generally bloodless. The few interesting moments are the result of skillful professionalism, not genuine inspiration. The soaring rocker "Tonite (Lift Me Up)" is one of the better cuts. "Rumours of You" is a mid-tempo power ballad. "Heartless" gives Nova a chance to rip on the guitar a bit. "Long Hot Summer" has a little charm, but it's typical pop-metal with extra synthesizer polish. Nova finally recreates the energy of his first two albums on "Fallen Angel." The frantic instrumental "Twitch" is the best track, and it perfectly illustrates Nova's production wizardry. Twitch flopped completely. It didn't even chart. Nova responded by going into self-imposed exile and fighting to be released from Portrait. In 1991 he re-emerged with Blood on the Bricks on Jon Bon Jovi's Jambco label. ~ Bret Adams Twitch Review

Hot on the heels of two decidedly un-Hawkwind-y singles; following in the footsteps, too, of the defiantly transitory Astounding Sounds, Amazing Music album, Quark Strangeness and Charm was the first full flowering of Hawkwind's newly honed drive towards brittle pop, sharp wit, and crystal-clear intent -- attributes that, if they'd ever existed in the past, had been entirely overwhelmed by the sheer grandeur of the space rock rocket blast. Now it was the propulsive riffs and deep space echoes that were held in abeyance, and Quark opened as it meant to go on, with "Spirit of the Age"'s tight keyboards, unobtrusive washes, and the utterly captivating -- if totally skewed -- story of love across the light years. It is hard to visualise just how shocking the change must have been to loyal fans of the era; how they must have trembled before the electrifying jolt of concise lyricism and accessible melodies. Airplay followed, and the band even made their first mainstream U.K. TV appearance in some five years, performing the new album's title track on Marc Bolan's teatime TV pop show. Robert Calvert wore an aviator's helmet and carried a stuffed falcon on one hand, odd apparel indeed for an ode to Albert Einstein's lack of luck with the ladies. Or maybe not so odd, after all. A handful of songs fed back into the traditional Hawkwind mythos -- the post-apocalyptic "Damnation Alley," the near-industrial instrumental "Forge of Vulcan," and the weary, dream-is-over nostalgia of "Days of the Underground." "Hassan I Sabha," an epic of Middle Eastern terrorist rhetoric, even recalled the prosaic realities of the old favorite "Urban Guerilla," although a haunting Arabic refrain and instrumentation catapulted it to a different realm regardless. And so it went on -- Hawkwind's most unexpected album to date and, today, one of their most endearingly enduring; charming, strange, and, if not quark, then certainly quirky. ~ Dave Thompson
