Free Music Review: NOMI- New Wave Champaign
Hit: 5 Stars
My first piece of advice: If you already own "Klaus Nomi" and "Simple Man" and perhaps "Encore" (although I've never seen it on CD), then you won't need "Collection"; the only songs not on his first two more available CD's are "Der Nussbaum" and "Can't Help Falling In Love". However, if you've never listened to the strains of Henry Purcell sung by the best falsetto since Farinelli, you need this one bad. Like many of the 80's New Wave acts, Klaus Nomi is an aquired taste. While most bands of the day were still trying to learn to play their synthesizers, Klaus was singing arias from "Dido & Aneas". My point being that here was finally an individual who really understood music, and he combined masterfully two of its most potent forces: Rock 'n Roll and Opera. Unfortunately for us all, he succumbed to AIDS on the very verge of fame. I remember listening to his version of "Death", from Purcell's "O Belinda..." shortly after I heard of his passing and wondering if he somehow had seen his own life drawing to a close. Of course some of Klaus's work is much more "up" and some of it, "Ding Dong" for example (yes, from the 'Wizard of Oz'), is downright camp. And, considering that his venue was the early 80's New York club scene, allot of his songs reflect that danceable beat. Whatever style he sings, though, there is the artistry of a well trained voice, which is more than I can say for most current acts. He was much more than his image. He is still missed -- and mourned -- by many, but we shall always have his voice, and that is an exquisite legacy.
