BEAUTIFUL TOP COPY
RARE and highy sought 1972 original BRITISH "DERAM RECORDS" first printing in gatefold cover ...
1972's “Space Shanty” is a distillation of the many styles of the Canterbury musos — the cosmic-hippy humor, the fascinating and busy arrangements — but it remains completely fresh and exciting...brought to you by the heads of our time: ex-Arzachel, ex-EGG, ex-Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come...
...formed out of the ashes of the mighty ARZACHEL, leader, guitarist Steve Hillage assembled a tight unit of adventurous musicians dubbing them KHAN ...thei only album, SPACE SHANTY delivers sophisticated underground prog-psych passages in long stretched-out interplays of awirling organ and soaring distorted guitar glories...
The music has a real sense of scale and joy, and the guys are clearly enjoying themselves and their instruments. The recording is warm and straightforward with panning and flanging done to good effect. The Canterbury crowd were quite innovative, particularly with combining effects pedals with keyboards, so by this time weren’t relying too much on studio trickery and tape manipulation.
“Mixed Up Man Of The Mountains” starts with a fairly straightforward rock beat played at a stride. “Looking at the ground, I’m crying for the sky. I know I can’t hope to go where I can’t be found. But when I close my eyes I start to fly.” And fly they do — just listen and wait for them to break into some of the best Canterbury prog jamming you’ll ever hear, soaring electric Hillage guitar leads, wow! “Driving to Amsterdam” features some particularly fiery keyboard work by ex-'EGG' leader, Dave Stewart and his prepared keyboards.
