Khan - Space Shanty -1972

Studio Recordings @ 320
{Out of Print}

Khan was a short lived British prog rock band. Space Shanty was the only album as far as I know but it is a beauty. It features some great guitar work from Steve Hillage and any album that has Dave Stewart on keyboards has a head start. The sound is Canterbury-based, and the album would appeal to Caravan and Hatfield and the North fans, but there is more than that here. Hillage was a great rock guitarist and some of the riffs are heavy. Accompanied by Stewart's screaming keyboards the band rocks. Nick Greenwood and Eric Peachey are a solid rhythm section. Space Shanty is one of the forgotten albums of prog but well worth checking out.
