Nadir's Big Chance is the fifth solo album by Peter Hammill, released on Charisma Records in 1975. It was recorded shortly after a decision to re-form the band Van der Graaf Generator (of which Hammill was the singer and principal songwriter), and Nadir's Big Chance is actually performed by the reformed Van der Graaf Generator line-up. The album's songs vary greatly in style, as acknowledged by Hammill in the sleeve notes, which refer to "the beefy punk songs, the weepy ballads, the soul struts".

I've been hanging around, waiting for my chance to tell you what I think about the music that's gone down to which you madly danced - frankly, you know that it stinks. I'm gonna stamp on the stardust and scream till I'm ill - if the guitar don't get ya, the drums will
Album: Nadir's Big Chance, 2006. Peter Hammill quotes. My mother was from West Bromwich; my grandfather was Pakistani. I had an aunt who started trying to trace the family tree and stopped when she saw what turned up.
Nadir's Big Chance, the title track, appears on the live Vital album recorded at the Marquee in 1978, which the band performed as an encore). That leaves us though with a certain irony, in that so-called progressive music, of which Hammill and Van der Graaf were a part, died with the birth of punk proper.
