On this 1977 recording, Edgar Froese and Chris Franke enlist flautist and vocalist Klaus Krieger into the Tangerine Dream fold, the result being a strangely beguiling recording. Consisting of just three long tracks, CYCLONE buffets the listener into submission. "Bent Cold Sidewalk" (one of electronica's great titles) features Krieger's histrionic vocals over grand washes of Mellotron, triumphant string synth swells, and scuttling sequencers. "Rising Runner Missed by Endless Sender" is hypnotic and minimal, mostly quickstep electro-patterns and swarms of cluster buzzes. But the album's highlight is the epic "Madrigal Meridian," one of Tangerine Dream's most enigmatic long-form pieces. Setting up streaming torrents of electronic sequencers over which they solo on various old analogue devices, Froese and Franke run through some genuinely thrilling moments, climaxing in the headlong rush of violins and piercing electronics that closes the track.
