CYCLONE

Edgar Froese doesn't like this album, and that's why you'll not find any tracks from "Cyclone" in any Tangerine Dream compilation !? I think it's a pity to deny "Cyclone" because it's far better than any Tangerine Dream's post "Tyger" stuff.

Come on Edgar, remember :

'Bent cold sidewalk' is one of TD's stronger track, the melody is really great, vocals are good, and the flute-clarinet-cymbal bridge in the middle section is amazing. (5 stars)

'Rising runner missed by endless sender' is a shorter piece in the same vein but with a faster rhythm and a lesser melodic. (3 stars)

'Madrigal meridian' is classic TD's 20 minute piece of reasonable quality, not as good as 'Force Majeure' but at the same level as tracks from "Encore" or "Tangram", it means there are some tedious passages. (3 stars)

Overall rating : 3,5 => 4 stars
