By request of the mighty JOHN T. SNOW of 2loud2oldmusic.com!
Canadian rock sensation Aldo Nova made his very first visit to the MuchMusic studios in July of 1991, on the Pepsi Power Hour hosted by Michael Williams. Getting down to business, Aldo plays an unplugged “Modern World” from his brand new album Blood on the Bricks!
This nearly 20 minute segment is Williams and MuchMusic at their finest. Aldo is engaging and frequently demonstrates songs on acoustic. Subjects covered:
- Signing a deal / starting out with “Fantasy”
- Producing early Celine Dion recordings
- “Runaway”
- “Blaze of Glory”
- His band and working with a singer instead of singing himself
Don’t know any of this guy’s stuff. Where is the best place to start?

The self-titled debut and the followup “Subject” album are pretty good.

Yes, he is Canadian. Start with the debut as Deke said. Subject is my favorite though and then go to Blood on the Bricks. Those are his best.

Cool, thanks. I’ve hit my CanCon quota in my collection so I’ll need to wait a while before I can check him out.

Now I’m actually thinking about how much CanCon I’ve actually got… probably not that much!
