Za Bakdaz a collection of songs German countertenor Klaus Nomi was working on up until his death in 1983, released posthumously in 2007. The large majority of the tracks have never before seen a studio release. Some of those involved with the project hint that the album was nowhere near completed at the time of Klaus' passing.
Nomi died of complications from AIDS a disease poorly understood at that time.[1]
