Overview Edit

Talkie Walkie is the fourth full-length album by Air, released on January 27, 2004 (see 2004 in music). The album was possibly named after the song "Le Talkie Walkie" by Serge Gainsbourg, a known influence of the duo. The track "Alone in Kyoto" was featured on the soundtrack to the 2003 film Lost in Translation. This album has been released with the Copy Control protection system in some regions. "Talkie-walkie" is French for walkie-talkie.

Backing up another reviewer here. This is not a review of the music, but rather of the cd.

I do most of my music listening at work. I buy cd's and burn them to my mp3 player.

This cd has all that awful multimedia crapola on it with a magungus autostart program. Practically crashed my xp computer.
