Nik&#8217;s roles in the band also included \u00a0composer, saxophonist, flautist, and creator of Hawkwind&#8217;s Mythology and Magic. Nik transcends genre, instead performing in a variety of styles, including,\u00a0Space-Rock,\u00a0Funk,\u00a0Latin-Jazz,\u00a0Expressionist Jazz,\u00a0Punk\/Political\/Satire,\u00a0Rock\u2019n\u2019Roll,\u00a0Jazz Dance,\u00a0Science Fiction\/Fantasy\/Mythology. In fact, Nik&#8217;s style could probably be best summed up as &#8220;Very Diverse Music&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He&#8217;s had a fairly\u00a0extensive career outside of Hawkwind, having a hand in many different facets\u00a0of the music industry, such as Management, Agency, Recording, Video Production, Promotion, Live Stage Production, Festival Promotion and Production, and then some, as well as keeping a hand in a number of bands. Current concerns include Nik Turner&#8217;s Space Gypsy,\u00a0Nik Turner&#8217;s New Space Ritual,\u00a0Nik Turner&#8217;s Inner City Unit,\u00a0Nik Turner&#8217;s Outriders of Apocalypse and\u00a0Nik Turner&#8217;s Sphynx.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nik has recently released a video for his new track &#8216;Hypernova&#8217;, taken from his forthcoming album &#8216;<span style=\"line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);\">Space Fusion Odyssey&#8217;, due to be released in July.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);\">&#8216;Hypernova&#8217; is a psychedelic\u00a0dance track,<\/span><span style=\"line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);\">\u00a0featuring such luminaries as Robby Krieger of The Doors, and former Megadeth guitarist Chris Poland.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);\">&#8216;Space Fusion Odessey&#8217; will include guest appearances \u00a0from Jazz drummer Billy Cobham, Steve Hillage and Gilli Smyth of Gong, Soft Machine\u2019s John Etheridge and Amon Duul II founder John Weinzierl.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For further details visit his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nikturner.com\" target=\"_blank\">website<\/a>\u00a0or check him out on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NikTurnermusic\/timeline?ref=page_internal\">FaceBook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JwWnFbgf2Ag?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div><span style=\"line-height: normal; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nik Turner is probably best known as a member of space-rock pioneers, Hawkwind, 10 years of which he spent as frontman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10353,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[9],"tags":[1148,1149,77,1147,1151,1150,1152],"class_list":["post-10350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-releases","tag-hawkwind","tag-hypernova","tag-new-release","tag-nik-turner","tag-saxophone","tag-space-fusion-odyssey","tag-space-rock"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5yMhl-2GW","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":14645,"url":"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2015\/10\/nik-turner-releases-new-album-space-fusion-odyssey\/","url_meta":{"origin":10350,"position":0},"title":"Nik Turner Releases New Album &#8216;Space Fusion Odyssey&#8217;","author":"Lisa Hafey","date":"19\/10\/2015","format":false,"excerpt":"The legend that is Nik Turner has released a new album, 'Space Fusion Odyssey'.
