Klaus Nomi CD - Import

 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!
