Last FM recommended his music to me... I like some fairly unusual stuff but he was maybe a little too strange
I did like the song Lightning Strikes though... he had a pretty incredible voice really didnt he

Nobody else like him, and you can't say that about many people.

Idiosyncratic. Very much an acquired taste. I remember seeing him when I was into the early 80s electronic stuff (Ultravox, Numan etc.) and thinking he was really weird, even a bit creepy. For the operatic style vocal I preferred Sal Solo of Classix Nouveaux

I don't like opera at all usually, but this guy mixes it up and he isn't just any opera vocaIist I could listen to him all day!

Lightning Strikes
Nomi Song
Wasting My Time
Total Eclipse
Rubberband Lazer
You Don't Own Me
The Twist
The Cold Song
Wayward Sisters
Simple Man

He's nothing if not incredibly unique...The Nomi Song is one of my favourite music documentaries.

^ I'm real happy that people are aware of him! I've not seen this doc yet, I'd love to see it! I can't believe he was David Bowies backing singer! His way more talented than Bowie!

Already his self titled album qualifies for all time favourite status!! Doesn't happen much these days at all! His album Simple Man is also fab but it's quite poppy compared to his self titled one but he pulls it off! I'm so happy I discovered him, where's he been all of my life!!??
