The Transit Kings are a British electronic music group consisting of Alex Paterson, Guy Pratt and Dom Beken. Jimmy Cauty, co-founder of The Orb with Paterson, was involved in initial recording sessions but does not take part in live sessions. He is currently on "extended leave". The Transit Kings' music is reminiscent of The Orb and The KLF. The band was named Custerd for a brief period. ==History== Ambient house pioneers Paterson (The Orb) and Cauty (The Orb, The KLF), joined with Pratt and Beken in London’s Townhouse Studios in the summer of 2001, to begin work on a new project.〔Transit Kings' official biography, ''passim'' ((link ))〕 Recording later continued in Cauty's Brighton studio. In 2003, the group released their first single, "Boom Bang Bombay", under the name Custerd.〔Custerd entry at discogs.com ((link ))〕 On New Year's Day 2004, the Transit Kings appeared live in Tokyo.〔〔"Metropolis Tokyo :: CLUBS - Freedom Village" ((link ))〕 In 2005, they released the ''Token EP'',〔Transit Kings entry at discogs.com, ''passim'' ((link ))〕 and performed live (without Cauty) at the Big Chill Festival. In 2006 they released a limited edition set of three colored vinyl 7" singles on Malicious Damage featuring the songs "America Is Unavailable" (Red), "Japanese Cars" (Amber), and "Butterflies and Boom" (Green). They released their first album ''Living in a Giant Candle Winking at God'' in August 2006. The "sample-tastic" house album featured guest appearances from The Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr and comedian Simon Day. ''The Sun'' described the album as "quality" and "out of this world" and compared it to a mixture of DJ Shadow and Röyksopp; however, ''The Times'' called it "Orb-lite" and proclaimed it to be "Deep Forest-style sludge". Cauty left the band in 2004 to work on other projects; the official website has him listed as on "Co-Pilot (on extended leave): Graybeard". He is, however, listed as a composer on seven of the Transit Kings' debut album's twelve tracks.〔''Living in a Giant Candle Winking at God'' entry at discogs.com ((link ))〕
