Khan are a very early example of the Canterbury School of progressive rock, best known through bands such as Caravan, Hatfield and the North and National Health. Led by guitarist Steve Hillage who would later join Gong and enjoy a successful solo career, this was his first important group. So it is surprising that his songwriting skills are so matured and developed. Also, his trademark soaring, ecstatic guitar style is also much in evidence here. The combination of that and guest keyboardist Dave Stewart's fuzzy, distorted organ is something really special to behold. The pair would team up again on Hillage's first solo album "Fish Rising", some of the material of which was destined for a potential second Khan album.

"Space Shanty" is full of complex time signatures, highly melodic songwriting and wonderful playing. This is English psychedelic progressive rock at its very best. Inventive, wistful, remarkably fresh sounding without being indulgent or pretentious. Definitely of it's time, but there is still much to admire and enjoy here. Amazon-Kunde
