Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Cyclone' marks a highly controversial turning point for Tangerine Dream, introducing acoustic instrumentation and Steve Jolliffe's prominent vocals to their cosmic synthesizer sequences. The result is an incredibly energetic, remarkably atmospheric blend of progressive electronic music and deeply psychedelic, krautrock-infused progressive rock.
