Following the success of the initial 7″ single version of "Nova Heart" (#40 Canada), an extended 12″ single was subsequently released. The B-side, "Symmetry," which did not appear on the Arias & Symphonies album, was a dance single, and while it did not get much airplay, it got significant play in clubs.

Nova Heart was re-released as a 30th Anniversary Edition CD on March 26, 2012. In addition to the "Single version" and the 12 inch Extended Mix of the song, the CD also has 2 new remixes made by the band itself, a demo made in 1981 and a "Live" version of the song recorded at Barrymore's club in 1982. This is a limited edition CD.

Nova Heart was covered by Canadian Electro-goth band Johnny Hollow.

The album cover photos were taken at the CN Tower in Toronto, Ontario by Peter Noble.

gollark: Mostly, you just need to use a bunch of intermediate instances to receive, reduce and filter everything.
gollark: I mean, it's not like *all* the subjects died.
gollark: You *can*, but loading all the information - much of it conflicting - into your brain *has* been known to lead to a few moderately problematic side effects.
gollark: Now, while modern mindstate execution is fully deterministic, people aren't perfect judges of the "best" thing and there's some noise, so you probably want to use comparison counting sort or something.
gollark: You can either read aesthetic appreciation data out of their mindstates and rank that, or just use one per *comparison* instead.
