Recording your first album is normally fairly easy. But when it comes to the second one… ah, now that can be tough. Aldo Nova spent years getting a deal, working on songs he'd been writing since first learning his craft, happily finding that his debut album became an instant overnight smash (Double Platinum at last count). But with album #2 he wanted to dig deeper and explore a more sophisticated theme, assembling a series of songs that could arguably hang together conceptually. Originally released in 1983, Subject: Aldo Nova is a richer and far more intense effort than his debut album. Sure, initial reviews lambasted its 'difficult' musical thread and 'post apocalyptic' lyrical concept as a tad too highbrow for what he was then perceived as (a melodic hard rocker) but time and distance has invited an altogether more positive reaction. The songs here can be classified as progressive pop rock in the grandest sense, with an emphasis focused on precise arrangements and carefully crafted instrumentation.
