Nadir's Big Chance

by Peter Hammill

Nadir's Big Chance cover art

Adopting the raucous alter-ego of 'Rikki Nadir', the Van der Graaf Generator frontman famously anticipated the impending punk explosion with this remarkably aggressive solo record. 'Nadir's Big Chance' is a fiercely energetic, wildly eclectic art-rock triumph, matching deeply rebellious, surprisingly raw proto-punk guitars with wonderfully playful, fiercely melodic urban songwriting.
