Za Bakdaz
Za Bakdaz: The Unfinished Opera is a collection of songs German countertenor Klaus Nomi was working on up until his death in 1983. The album was released posthumously in 2007. The large majority of the tracks have never before been heard on an official studio release; the original sessions took place from 1979 to 1983, with the tracks completed between 1984 and 2006 at the home studio of Page Wood and George Elliott. Some of those involved with the project have said that the album was nowhere near completed at the time of Klaus' passing.

gollark: I think lying (by omission) in an attempt to help people is potentially somewhat bad/unsafe.
gollark: As a foolish human, you are not perfectly rational and have bounded computing power so obviously in some cases knowing things is bad.
gollark: I can imagine not wanting to know things quite easily. Not in any hugely practical cases.
gollark: Oh no. My expression simplifier no longer actually works.
gollark: MUAHAHAHAHA, my code compiles.
