Khan: Nick Greenwood (vocals, bass); Steve Hillage (guitar); Eric Peachey (drums). Additional personnel: Dave Stewart (keyboards). Khan: Steve Hillage (guitar). Almost stereotypically overreaching early-'70s progressive rock; quasi-operatic vocals, spinning guitar solos, lengthy suite-like tracks on the order of "Stargazers" and "Hollow Stone (incl. Escape of the Space Pilots)." The highlight is Stewart's effervescent organ work during the gentle and meditative passages. ~ Richie Unterberger

Record Collector (magazine) (p.91) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[F]ar more than just an early staging-post on Hillage's musical journey. Actually it's a beautifully crafted landmark in English rock rightfully made available for the first time in over 15 years."
