Klaus Nomi Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  Classic
The 80's music scene is often bashed and thought of as uninspired and full pop artists who would soon go on to be one hit wonders no one would care about ten years down the line. While there might be some truth to that, there are many exceptions and Klaus Nomi is definitely one of them. Though he would sadly pass away less than two years after this albums release (and just shortly after it's follow up) he remains a cult icon and an influence to many people, including Morrissey who included one of Klaus' songs on a compilation of his. Now about the music. Klaus mixed opera and rock with new wave sensibilities, and he did it well. There's some classic tracks on here including "Lightning Strikes", "The Twist", "Cold Song", and the gorgeous "Samson And Delilah." If you're a fan of Roxy Music or Nina Hagen, you should check this out. Strongly recommended. RIP, Klaus!

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."
The second album from the most unusual of German born singers who combined classical, kitsch, country, pop, standards.....and just plain fun into his act. Nomi appearance on the pop scene was something akin to having a being from another planet come to visit who had totally absorbed the whole of human culture and like the Beatles did to R&B, ...
| | Cure Join The Dots: B-Sides & Rarities 1978-2001 (The Fiction Years) CDs (2004) Remastered
Klaus Nomi
$37.45
Recorded between 1978 & 2001. Includes liner notes by Robert Smith, Simon Gallup, and Johnny Black.
A remarkable four-disc set of B-sides and rarities, JOIN THE DOTS serves as a sort of alternate history for the Cure, one of the world's most beloved post-punk/alt-rock bands. Painstakingly compiled by Cure frontman (and the group's only constant member) Robert Smith, DOTS provides dozens of glimpses into the literal flip-side of their singles by collecting many long-lost tracks, including the classic songs previously featured only on the cassette version of STARING AT THE SEA: THE SINGLES.
Disc one begins in the late 1970s and consists of early tracks that show the Cure in a wildly adventurous mode--tearing into the punky "Pillbox Tales," drifting through the gloomy "Descent," and bouncing along to the oddly danceable "Throw Your Foot." By disc two, Smith and the lads have become college-rock heroes, and despite their goth looks, they move steadily into poppier territory on songs such as the synth-laden "Breathe" and the upbeat "Hey You!!!," eventually settling into their dreamy post-DISINTEGRATION era on "This Twilight Garden," "Halo," and "Home" on the third and fourth discs. Also included are cover tunes and remixes, topping off an impressive collection that features many could've-been A-sides (particularly "The Exploding Boy," "Harold and Joe," and "Signal to Noise") and reveals why a younger generation has become entranced by the Cure's dynamic sound.
Subtitled - B-sides & Rarities 1978-2001 - The Fiction Years. First-ever collection of hard-to-find gems in a career-spanning four-disc remastered set. As The Cure nears its third decade at the forefront of pop culture, Universal, Rhino & Fiction/Elektra ...
| | Nomi Song DVD (2005) Widescreen
Klaus Nomi
 $17.29
Known throughout the 1980s as a cult figure on the New Wave scene, Klaus Nomi managed to perfectly marry disparate worlds such as rock, pop, opera, and performance art. Nomi lit-up the underground throughout the '80s with his bizarre and freakish appearance, and had a penchant for twisting his counter tenor vocals around a hook-laden pop song. His fanbase grew, and it looked as if Nomi's star was on a collision course with the mainstream. But the fun came to a desperately tragic end when Nomi succumbed to the dark spectre of AIDS. The disease which ended the lives of so many artists in this turbulent decade callously claimed another victim, and the dream came to an abrupt, hurtful end.
Director Andrew Horn draws on a mixture of vintage footage and celebrity testimonials to flesh out Nomi's tale in this documentary, offering a moving portrait of an artist who strived for originality, and was cruelly plucked from the world just as his dreams of bursting into the mainstream looked set to be fulfilled. Ultimately, THE NOMI SONG is an inspiring depiction of an artist who enlivened those around him with his infectious enthusiasm and lust for life. Far from being a forlorn tale of what might have been, Horn's film is a joyous celebration of an unsurpassable, idiosyncratic figure who poured everything into his art during a brief, yet productive tenure on the planet.
Part documentary, part music film, part sci-fi, this film is a fascinating and incredibly visual non-fiction film and audio history of the 1980s New Wave Underground cult ...
| | Red Grammer Hello World! CD (1995)
Klaus Nomi
$11.45
Winner of a 1996 Parents' Choice Gold Award and a USA Kid PickRed Grammer is an award-winning singer and songwriter with a clear alike, Red is a skilled performer with an outstanding tenor that is recognized as one of the best in the business. Raised in Little Silver, New Jersey, Red completed his first two years of college at Rutgers University and then transferred to Beloit College in Wisconsin where he met his wife and co-lyricist, Kathy, a special education teacher. They began collaborating on children's music while Red was still lead vocalist for the legendary folk group, The Limeliters. Believing that other children might enjoy the songs, games and fingerplays that they had written for their young son, Red and Kathy released their first album, CAN YOU SOUND JUST LIKE ME?, in 1983. Introduced on National Public Radio's All Things Considered, their first recording was received with open arms by the critics. They still did not view themselves as children's musicians -- just musicians. That would soon change. Encouraged to write another album for children and inspired by "The Promise of World Peace" statement issued by the Baha'i' World Community, Red and Kathy set out to create an album illustrating what children and their families could do to bring about peace.In 1986 the groundbreaking recording, TEACHING PEACE hit the market. It was immediately heralded for its ability to address such topics as acceptance of diversity, self-esteem, and cooperation. What seemed unusual about the album, however, was that it could do all that and tickle a child's funnybone. Parents embraced the album -- they loved Red's voice and the messages in the lyrics. Grammer had not only become a commercial success, he had become an overnight sensation in the educational community as well. This remarkable recording was honored by Parents' Choice with a Classic Children's Audio Recording Award-- an award few albums ever achieve. The All Music Guide declared TEACHING PEACE "one of the top five children's recordings of all time." As children, parents, educators and reviewers were discovering, there was something very special about what the Grammers had created for children.At the same time, Red was discovering, as a performer, the perfect venue for his natural playfulness, vocal talent, and artistic sensibilities... the family. His clear, high tenor voice, and the songs that he and Kathy were writing for it, were tailor-made to entertain and inspire everyone from toddlers to grandparents. At long last he was finally "home" and his audiences knew it. Today Red has become one of the most sought after children's' performers in North America, appearing in major performing arts centers ...

$17.69 | | Giant Sand Is All Over The Map CD (2004)
Klaus Nomi
$12.15
With 2004's IS ALL OVER THE MAP, Giant Sand mastermind Howe Gelb turns in another album of atmospheric, off-kilter, and always-surprising rock. (This was Giant Sand's first record in decades without the rhythm section of Joey Burns and John Convertino, who decided to focus their band, Calexico, on a full-time basis.) While, at his core, Gelb is a troubadour with an acoustic guitar, and his poetic lyrics--full of detail, human suffering, and scenic landscapes--wouldn't sound out of place in a candlelit coffeehouse, his adventurous aesthetic encompasses punk, country, rockabilly, grunge, and experimental music.
Gelb's stylistic collage is compelling both sonically and stylistically. Country-rock is blended with shuffling, quirky pop ("Fool"), blues is buried by stadium-ready guitars ("Remote"), and Gelb's breathy baritone alternates with nerve-scraping distortion ("Classico"). The vibe is lilting and often meditative, but rocks like no ones business when you least expect it. Gelb's genre whiplash doesn't stop with the pop and rock canon: "Napoli" works a tango groove, "Les Forcats Innocents" recalls French cabaret pop, and, on "Rag," Gelb plays a ragtime piano. Such a mixed bag might seem confusing, but the sensibility on IS ALL OVER THE MAP is remarkably cohesive, resulting in something difficult to define, and even harder to resist.
