ENCORE is a compilation of songs by the eccentric new wave pop singer Klaus Nomi.
The phenomenon known as Klaus Nomi lasted an all to short period of time. God only knows what could have come later on had he lived. Nomi was bizarre to say the least, exciting at best. Tracks on this compilation include Cold Song / Total Eclipse /. Klaus Nomi Encore! Songs | 1. | Fanfare |

The largest retrospective of Klaus Nomi's work yet released, Essential features 20 of his definitive tracks, spanning his operatic and classical-inspired works ("Samson and Delilah [Aria]," "Cold Song"), his forays into disco ("Icurok," "Falling in Love Again"), cheeky covers ("You Don't Own Me," "Just One Look"), and the experimental tracks ("Keys of Life," "From Beyond") that make up his surprisingly diverse body of work. While each of the other Nomi best-ofs features tracks that should be here -- the Purcell aria "Death" appears on Collection and "Three Wishes" and "I Feel Love" are on Eclipsed -- Essential more or less lives up to its name and is probably worth its import price for die-hard fans. ~ Heather Phares
It only takes a quick look at the cover to get a reasonably decent idea that this isn't your typical pop album: Decked out in a grossly oversized suit and heavy theatrical makeup, Klaus Nomi is not your typical pop singer, either. Both the cover and the music within lean heavily to the dramatic -- Nomi's delivery is all in a very operatic falsetto, though most of the music itself is more of the early-'80s European dance school (indeed, ...
| | Klaus Nomi Simple Man CD (1982)
Encore! CD music
$11.65
Eclectic pop singer Klaus Nomi blends classical, country, and standards in SIMPLE MAN. On this 12-track collection, the German artist performs "Ding Dong," his unique take on the classic song from "The Wizard of Oz."
Coming off such a left-field debut, it was up in the air as to what Klaus Nomi would do for a follow-up. That second album was Simple Man, and if listeners were unsure if the first album was a put-on, this one certainly didn't do much to clear things up. While the album starts out promisingly with an atmospheric fade-in followed by a hard dance number with the occasional Birthday Party-style guitar thrown in, the rest of the album did its damnedest to move the album's overall tone to one of self-parody. Could one really think any differently listening to the hyper-sugary cover of "Just One Look," the faux-country disco number "Rubberband Lazer," or the version of "Ding Dong the Witch Is Dead"? As with the debut album, Nomi's true capabilities are shown off by his versions of classical works -- in this case, "Death" (taken from Henry Purcell's "Dido and Aeneas") and "Return" (which is based on a choral number by John Dowland). The thing is, those pieces are right at the end of the album and the listeners who would enjoy them the most will probably already have ...

Collectables' History of Rock: The 60s, Pt. 2 is a random but wonderful 20-track collection of pop and rock gems. It touches on doo wop (the Jive Five's "What Time Is It?," the Paradons' "Diamonds and Pearls"), garage rock (the Music Explosion's "Little Bit of Soul," the Five Americans' "Western Union Man"), bubblegum (the Archies' "Sugar, Sugar"), soul (Lee Dorsey's "Ya Ya," Aaron Neville's "Tell It Like It Is"), girl group (the Shangri-Las' "Give ...

Encore! songs
$11.39
The Legendary Pink Dots can get toppled by their own ambition, and often their albums are murky messes hung up on some obscure concept. With two albums on the same heavy concept (All the King's Horses and All the King's Men) behind them, Whispering Wall is a casual return to the old ways and a decent entry point for anyone attempting to take the unwieldy band on. Opening numbers on Dots albums are often good indicators of what's in store, and the driven "Soft Toy" is a good sign. Chugging guitar isn't what you normally hear on their records, but it's the basis of "Soft Toy" and the first of many surprises. Radiohead would be proud to call the fairly-straightforward-for-the-Dots "A Distant Summer" their own and "King of a Small World" is faux-jazz that Queen of Siam-era Lydia Lunch would have killed for. Believe it or not, "Peek-A-Boo" sounds like the Dots at Studio One with lead singer Edward Ka-Spel out-jestering Lee "Scratch" Perry. The highlight of the album, "For Sale," is evidence that Ka-Spel ...
