Living in a Giant Candle Winking at God is the debut album by the Transit Kings. It 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". Though Jimmy Cauty left the Transit Kings before the release of Living in a Giant Candle Winking at God, he received a credit as composer on seven of the album's tracks.
