A view of a future that does not have to be

I have witnessed the start of Klaus Nomi career in German-speaking countries in my student days. I saw him at that time several times on television and was immediately fascinated by his voice and his charisma. Both his published during his lifetime albums I've bought the same time belongs (on vinyl) and over again. I have by the way still.

Inspired by the recent broadcast on Arte documentation to life Klaus Nomi I started to look around the internet for new material. Lo and behold, there is actually a compilation of new, "unfinished" tracks, Amazon ideally even as MP3 download.

After a short deliberation, I decided to take the risk and buy me the new album. One thing first: The sound quality is quite modest. Nevertheless, creating the 12 titles to draw one into its spell, not least because of their authenticity. But you should shrill sloping Klangwolken like to make friends with this album.

On the basis of this album can perhaps imagine how much potential Klaus Nomi would have had yet. His early death was and remains a tragedy! I miss her so creative, so dazzling artists like him in the music scene of today.
