Khan was an English Canterbury scene band formed by guitarist Steve Hillage around 1970. The group released the album Space Shanty in 1972 on the Decca/Deram label.

Line-up cited in contemporary sources and the reviews: Steve Hillage (guitar, vocals), Dave Stewart (piano, organ, keyboards), Nick Greenwood (bass, vocals) and Eric Peachey (drums). Space Shanty (1972) is the band's principal and best-documented release.

Two DeBaser reviews celebrate Khan's 1972 album Space Shanty as a key Canterbury-prog record. Reviewers highlight Steve Hillage's dominant guitar work and Dave Stewart's fast organ passages. The album's six tracks mix prog, jazz-influenced passages and space/psychedelic textures. Both reviews rate the album highly and describe individual tracks in detail.

For:Fans of the Canterbury scene, 1970s progressive and psychedelic rock, and listeners who like jazz-influenced space rock.

 Canterbury Prog and this says it all. From the strength of the "Egg", "Gong", "National Health" and "Hatfield & The North"... ladies and gentlemen I present to you four beasts: Nick Greenwood on bass and vocals, Steve Hillage on guitar and vocals, Eric Peachy on drums, and Dave Stewart on piano and organ in a single work that already seems fundamental for the old school.
