A beautiful example that not only Anglo-American songs can be excellent

Banjo in fantastic...

Awesome. Haven't heard this in ages (and can 14 years since last play be right?!)
Some Beats Antique would be a fine follow up!

One of the few "techno" outfits that I can actually enjoy. This is very cool.

I believe the technical term for that stuff is "boner medicine". You're welcome.

You might be thinking of music on the Starburst commercial with the three teenagers walking through a city who bend back keep-on-trucking-style in time with the background whistling. That's what it reminded me of, but that's the Whistle Song by P.J. Olsson.

My copy of Air - Walkie Talkie arrived from Amazon today! I'm right into Tokyo...I had never heard these guys until RP. I'm enjoying a new sound immensely.

Does not merit comparison with Air's work from "Moon Safari" .... everything I have heard from this new album is mediocre at best.
Some folks might have said the same of Sexy Boy, Kelli watch the Stars, etc. IMO, I'd say the albums are both great... for most folks... fewer would like Virgin Suicides, 20KHz as an album or the oldies album...

And here I thought only the Scorpions were corny enough to use whistling in a song... I like Air, but this isn't high on my list of tunes from them.

After giving it at least two full listens I rated it a "3". I don't like to give "bad" reviews unnecessarily. But it was only slightly annoying in a dull, background noise sort of way. On the this, my fourth listen (at least), however, downgraded to "2". "Banjo" bit is slightly redeeming, but...the rest is headache-inducing...at least today. Esp. hate the "whistling". Sorry, nope. :P

Banjos are like tits. If you are there and they are there, they ain't fake.

I often rely on NN's insight even when, as in this case, the CORRECT ANSWER is 9!

It didn't until you mentioned it. Now I'll never be able to listen to this without thinking of my dogs jumping around in the yard.

I've had to listen to this song (and a few more off this album) every day for the last week or so (shelving books in the early morning at a Barnes & Noble). . . and I still love it!

The whistleing is genius! I love this song. It's intelligent and catchy, which is hard to do. For me anyway, it's a song that gets stuck in my head but for some reason, I love it when it does. I usually get sick of songs that do that too........ Air is good for everybody!!
