Klaus Nomi - Remixes (Volume 2) - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

First time on CD in the U.S. • Stunning Dance Mixes from a renowned group of DJs and artists. • Foil-stamped Digipak. Bavarian born Klaus Sperber emigrated to New York City in 1972, and soon became a staple in the East Village art scene, adopting the new last name of Nomi (fashioned after the popular science magazine Omni). After working on a production with Kristian Hoffman, whose band Mumps were playing Max's Kansas City and CBGB, the two began working together-with Hoffman writing originals and picking cover versions of popular songs that would showcase Nomi's multi-octave vocal range. David Bowie hired Nomi as one his background singers for a 1979 performance on Saturday Night Live, and the exposure caught the eyes and ears of Bowie's tag, RCA. Soon Kristian and Klaus began recording Nomi's debut album. Klaus Nomi appeared in 1981 featuring covers of Lou Christie's InchLightning Strikes,Inch Leslie Gore's InchYou Don't Own Me,Inch Chubby Checker's InchThe Twist,Inch and Camille Saint-Saëns' InchSamson And Delilah (Aria),Inch plus originals from Hoffman including InchNomi SongInch and InchTotal EclipseInch (memorably performed in the 1981 film Urgh!
