Torrent Description
This torrent contains all of Klaus Nomi's audio files I could find.
It also has a good quality version of the SNL appearance with David Bowie (I found that elsewhere on the web) and a DVD-rip of the Klaus Nomi documentary 'The Nomi Song' I collected the audio files on the web in the best mp3-quality I could find. Unfortunately bitrates for some are somewhat low. The Nomi Song - The Klaus Nomi Odyssey - 2004 - DVD-rip 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 figure. Included is music by Wire, The Marbles, The Bongos, Pylon, The Mumps, Chi P Born Klaus Sperber in Essen, Germany, Nomi dressed like an alien, sang like an angel, and electrified new wave-era New York. The classically trained tenor moved to the US in the 1970s. Influenced by Maria Callas, Marlene Dietrich, and 1950s sci-fi films, the "opera-singing pastry chef," as writer Glenn O'Brien described him, developed a unique look and sound that stood apart from every other act to emerge from the East Village. At the height of his fame, he caught the eye of David Bowie, with whom he performed on Saturday Night Live in 1979. Unfortunately, his AIDS-related death in 1983 curtailed any chance to reach a wider audience. Andrew Horn's evocative portrait rises above the ordinary by documenting a scene as much as its most original participant. Aside from a wealth of archival material, The Nomi Song includes interviews with Kenny Scharf and Ann Magnuson (but alas, no Bowie). ************************************ Some websites: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaus_Nomi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klaus_Nomi http://thenomisong.com/ http://klaus.nomi.pagesperso-orange.fr/home_ve.html
