The Transit Kings are Dr Alex Paterson, Jimmy Cauty and ex-late period Pink Floyd bassist, Guy Pratt. It will be no surprise then, to hear that the music they make sounds not unlike a combination of the Floyd, The Orb and The KLF.
It's true that they have a tendency towards being slightly "muso" though, which puts me off slightly. This single is good stuff though, although the red vinyl pressing is a bit shit, sound quality wise.
The album is still available from Malicious Damage as is a (better, in my opinion) limited CDR: Early Bath, which features all the vinyl remixes, plus two new tracks, an orb remix and a 32-minute live set that was broadcast on XFM.
Also just available this week is the new Orb album.
Go and buy one. They deserve your support.
Vinyl rip at 320 Kbps.
Expired.
