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. This compilation of Klaus Nomi best was first issued shortly after he passed away due to AIDS, includes his best known recordings and two songs unavailable elsewhere. Additionally, this collection contains the live version of “Total Eclipse” from Urgh! A Music War.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFanfare\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Cold Song\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Eclipse (Live Version)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSamson And Delilah (Aria)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan’t Help Falling In Love\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple Man\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWasting My Time\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWayward Sisters\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDing Dong\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Don’t Own Me\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDer Nissbaum\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightning Strikes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Twist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Waiting Room Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":66820592795763,"sku":null,"price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP","offer_id":66820592828531,"sku":null,"price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0082\/4315\/0908\/files\/Screenshot2026-10-08at4.17.21PM.png?v=1791494284","url":"https:\/\/waitingroomrecords.com\/products\/klaus-nomi-encore-nomis-best","provider":"Waiting Room Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
