Repress! 'Space Shanty' is notable for being the recorded debut of Steve Hillage, the renowned progressive guitarist. Considering that the band included keyboard virtuoso Dave Stewart, then with Egg, Khan was a one-off with quite a pedigree. The music is a bluesier, harder rocking take on the basic Canterbury style. The work itself is almost entirely composed by Hillage, and demonstrates some similarity to 'Fish Rising,' his first solo album.
