"Walkie Talkie" turns up on The Private Press, the second album from American hip hop producer DJ Shadow, which MCA released in June 2002, and it's close to a one-man show: Shadow composed it and works the turntables, then mixed it with Jim Abbiss.
The album around it drew raves, landing an 81 average on Metacritic. Rolling Stone's Rob Sheffield heard a record packed with playful experiments, and Pascal Wyse of The Guardian was struck that someone who builds so much of his music out of other people's could still sound so unmistakably like himself. Spin put it among the 40 best albums of 2002.
