Contains the singles \"Simple Man,\" \"Ding Dong,\" \"Just One Look,\" and \"Icurok.\" Long out-of-print in the U.S. 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. Nomi's second album, Simple Man, appeared in 1982 featuring Hoffman's title track and covers of Doris Troy's \"Just One Look\" and \"Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead\" from The Wizard Of Oz-plus songs from renaissance composers John Dowland and Henry Purcell. It would sadly be Nomi's last album of original material before his AIDS-related death in 1983.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 From Beyond\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e2\u003c\/span\u003e After the Fall\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e3\u003c\/span\u003e Just One Look\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e4\u003c\/span\u003e Falling in Love Again\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e5\u003c\/span\u003e Icurok\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e6\u003c\/span\u003e Rubberband Lazer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e7\u003c\/span\u003e Wayward Sisters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e8\u003c\/span\u003e Ding Dong\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e9\u003c\/span\u003e Three Wishes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e10\u003c\/span\u003e Simple Man\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e11\u003c\/span\u003e Death\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aec-tracknum\"\u003e12\u003c\/span\u003e Return\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WARNER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46728533442757,"sku":"KLAUS-NOMI-SIMPLE-MAN-LP-6458","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0521\/6023\/3669\/files\/4527178-3668532_364e58aa-b478-4c24-9fb4-e551982cfa7d.jpg?v=1786729601","url":"https:\/\/shop.brooklynvegan.com\/products\/klaus-nomi-simple-man-lp","provider":"BrooklynVegan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
