I have always loved Alex Patersons work and the folks he selected make the music mindscapes that have been around for many years. I picked up this release in hopes that the Transit kings were just "The Orb" with a different name. That how i felt right or wrong. I wasnt disappointed with this release. the Orb vibe i still felt with the amusing samples, beats and clicks. Living in a giant candle winking at god is the release of this album and also refers to a sole remaining lighthouse keeper on one of the tracks in which he describes how wonderful it is to live and operate a lighthouse. each track is unique on this release. but i heard alot of cymbal breaks that are crisp. some horns and lyric anthems that have a disneyesque quality to them. If you like The Orb, you'll love transit kings and this release.

this is an hard to find cd it is jazzy upbeat muti cultural sounds with excellent combination of various voice and musical instruments with traces of fsol, enigma, ymo, along that area of musical blends etc,,,

It's not for everyone, but for those with a true understanding of what makes this sort of music magical , this album and the true brilliance in each track makes for one hell of a subway commute. Enjoy.
