‘Talkie Walkie’ feels like an experimental album, like Air are playingaround with ideas. Track 5, ‘Mike Mills’ definitely gives that feelingas it’s loose and doesn’t have much of a focus but it’s morethe way random notes and sounds appear in songs, It’s classic Air in thatit’s floaty and spacey. There are some lovely moments on here, however,it’s not all bad. ‘Biological’ has a lovely, simple, liltingpiano riff which is accompianied by a few other instruments as does ‘MikeMills’ even if it does have that annoying pseudo-classical organ on it.The overriding emotion is that this is a strange album and those who like bandslike Boards of Canada will probably like it.Natasha Perry |
