"This compilation CD is good, but I hope that one day the Record Company (RED BULLET Productions) brings out the original albums "Terranova" and "Quo Vadis"!P.S. The Terranova album was realesed on CD by the CNR records, a few years ago, but now is sold out!!

"I love the sound of Nova. "CYGNUS + ATMOSPHERE + AURORA" are the best. I have all 3 Albums from them. The "Quo Vadis" Album is very very hard to find. Many thanks to Rob Papen + the other guys, for this wonderfull Music. God bless you!"

Biography:
NOVA is: Ruud van Es, Rob Papen and Peter Kommers.Nova is an 80's electronic music group from Netherlands. They released two LP's: TerraNova and Qua Vadis.They made more music under the name PERU.
"Even if you don't know his name, Rob Papen is something of a superstar of the Synthesizer. In the early 80s, a new wave of electronic acts arose from the pioneering work done by Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream. Their outlook was more melodious, tending towards the accessible, yet deep and detailed approach of Jean-Michel Jarre and open for commercial appeal. Papen was immediately struck by the possibilities keyboards and electronic devices offered him and joined his Dutch compatriots PERU at an early age. It didn't take long, before the PERU-sideproject NOVA landed a major chart hit with "Aurora". And in 1988, a reworked version of PERU's "Africa" (taken from the album "Continents") was a surprise number one hit in Austria. The band continued until 1993, before disbandoning and leaving Papen to pursue his passion for building his own synthesizers. In 2004, he resurfaced with the exciting "Daydreamer", which harked back to his former band, but sounded as fresh as any record in the new millenium. Even if it may not catapult him back into superstardom, it is a more than worthy continuation of an impressive legacy."
