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. Nomi's second album, Simple Man, appeared in 1982 featuring Hoffman's title track and covers of Doris Troy's InchJust One LookInch and InchDing Dong The Witch Is DeadInch from The Wizard Of Oz-plus songs from renaissance composers John Dowland and Henry Purcell.
