Air - Talkie Walkie

[Lotar]

Has anyone been listening to this album?

I think this one ranks right up there with Moon Safari, it totally makes up for 10,000 Hz Legend. If you don't know who Air are, they are this French trip-hop/techno/pop duo. A perfect description I read of this album was "future retro." This album is heavily influenced by late 60s music, especially the Beatles, but at the same time sounds very futuristic. They play layed back electronica with guitars, piano, and string accompaniments. They have top-noch guest vocals, and they even do their own vocals for the first time and they are excellent, which makes me wonder why they didn't sing on their previous albums.

I'm thinking that they may get big off of this album, it seems like they are playing it in every music and book store store I walk into.

i've only listened to one of their songs, 'playground love'. I only know it because I heard it on one of those levi commercials with the bulls in it. I like their style, might have to check out their other stuff.
