Talkie Walkie is the third studio album by French electronic music duo Air, released on 26 January 2004 by Virgin Records. Alone in Kyoto was included on the soundtrack to the 2003 film Lost in Translation, and Run was used in both the Veronica Mars episode Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner and the 2004 French film Lila Says. "Talkie-walkie" means walkie-talkie in French.
As of November 2006, Talkie Walkie had sold 161,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The album shipped 405,000 copies outside France within two weeks of its release, according to Virgin Records. Talkie Walkie received generally positive reviews from music critics.
At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 75, based on 29 reviews. Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone called the album "excellent" and commented that Air "return to what they do best: elegantly moody soundtrack music for imaginary films".
NME reviewer Piers Martin commented, "It is light and fluffy, of course, but tender and romantic, synthetic and soulful, too. It sounds, effortlessly, new and different, fresh and focused, clean and Zen, no doubt the outcome of Godin and Dunckel's decision to play and programme all the instruments and perform all the vocals on the record themselves in Paris without any external assistance...".
