Nova ~ USA ~ California

In the Clouds (1976)

Nova's sole album is a private press instrumental fusion affair from Stockton, California. Sure, it's quite typical of the era, and there's little here to distinguish it from countless others. However the album does feature some excellent guitar and synthesizer work, along with some well written compositions. In a nutshell, it's the usual sunny and tropical fusion, but with plenty of technical prowess. This one's a grower - worth pursuing for sure.

Not reissued as of 3/28/25.
