Album Notes & Community Reviews
The sole album from the Steve Hillage-led Canterbury supergroup Khan is a dazzling, criminally overlooked jewel of progressive rock. 'Space Shanty' is a fiercely energetic, highly melodic space-rock triumph, weaving wonderfully complex, intensely psychedelic jazz-rock jamming with beautifully atmospheric, highly progressive science-fiction narratives.
