After signing with [TBD], "Shnkhshi" was released as a single with the B-side "Hbsdnv Sþtku" in 1974, with a follow-up single consisting of "[[Trrx Kmz']]" and "Ffxzfrb" a few months later. In 1974, these four songs, along with nine entirely new others, were released on Hnvki's debut album ''[[Shnkhshi (album)|Shnkhshi]]''. The album versions of the single tracks have a far more maximalist instrumentation with arrangements by [TBD], another collaborator whom Hnvki met through the theatre industry. At the time, the album saw moderate success, with the single "Shnkhshi" reaching a peak of #22 in the [TBD] chart. | After signing with [TBD], "Shnkhshi" was released as a single with the B-side "Hbsdnv Sþtku" in 1974, with a follow-up single consisting of "[[Trrx Kmz']]" and "Ffxzfrb" a few months later.

This show also contained the prototype of "[['Dkdn (song)|'Dkdn]]", which would go on to become the title track for [['Dkdn (album)|another album]] in 1975. The album version of this song, featuring several guests from the acting world including [TBD], [TBD], and [TBD], was later released as a single alongside "Xþ Skbb'u" to critical acclaim, peaking at #5 in the [TBD] chart. The quasi-operatic style of "'Dkdn", rapidly switching between pastiches of various genres, has drawn comparisons to [TBD]'s "One Night in Řhæžrthil" and [TBD]'s "[[Ihoshari Rhapsody]]", both released in the same year, though the order of influences if any remains unclear. The album also contained some songs originally written for the Ele Theater production ''Dr. Kžriphmki's Music-Film''. | ||
