Klaus Nomi mixed synth-driven new wave, 1920s German cabaret music, disco and opera. It wasn’t as though one or two of these influences would crop up occasionally in his songs, but rather he somehow managed to fuse all of these components into virtually every song he recorded. Featuring soaring operatic vocals, pumping synthesizers, thumping dance beats and the strangest arrangements you’re likely to ever hear. [Source]
