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.

The band consisting of Steve Hillage (guitar/vocals), Dave Stewart (organ), Clive Brooks 

(drums) and Mont Campbell (bass/vocals). The band produced their sole album under the 

name Arzachel in June 1969.

The album Arzachel was recorded and mixed in a single session in London. The 'A' side has four songs, while the 'B' side consists of only two mind-bending psychedelic tracks, the longer of which is a 17-minute jam entitled 'Metempsychosis'. It was issued on the short-lived Evolution label (also home to the debut by Raw Material) and quickly became a collectors' item. A pirate version is thought to have circulated in the late 1970s, and it has been much bootlegged in more recent years.
