Nomi

Description

A singer with an exceptional vocal range (from bass-baritone to countertenor), comfortable on stage surrounded by a New Wave band or performing a Purcell aria, with an otherworldly, disembodied look that fascinated crowds, European but living in New York, Klaus Nomi was a complex and talented being. In 1979, David Bowie, then in his Berlin period, had, as usual, perceived the nascent phenomenon before almost anyone else. Klaus Nomi was undoubtedly the first "famous" victim of AIDS in the music world. What was then called "gay cancer," an unfortunate name reflecting the misunderstanding of this newly appeared disease, struck down this atypical artist at the peak of his glory: platinum and gold records, ecstatic concert halls, a fascinated fashion world – Klaus experienced a meteoric rise between '79 and '82. Then he returned to his planet, wherever it may be... To mark the 40th anniversary of Klaus Nomi's passing, Sony Music / Legacy is reissuing his complete official discography: His two studio albums "Klaus Nomi" and "Simple Man" on CD digipack / LP. The first album is also available on ultra-limited cassette. His 1986 album "In Concert" for the first time on CD Digipack. His compilation "Encore: Nomi's Best" for the first time on CD Digipack and again on vinyl. A magnificent limited edition 4LP Deluxe box set in a rigid slipcase is also available, exclusively featuring the "In Concert" vinyl.
