| Notes | | | After Peter Baumann had left Tangerine Dream, Edgar Froese and Chris Franke were joined by Steve Jolliffe and Klaus Krüger, two musicians Edgar Froese knew since the sixties. This quartet recorded TD's most controversial album Cyclone, as Steve Jolliffe's vocals broke from the otherwise pure instrumental music of TD. Although Jolliffe was also a skilled wind instrumentalist, most TD fans disliked this kind of music -- as did Edgar Froese himself. After the album release and the following European tour Steve Jolliffe again left the group, and Tangerine Dream did not again use vocals on their records until 1987 (with the only exception of the spoken Russian words on Kiew Mission in 1981). | | | |
In 1995 Virgin re-released the album on CD in the so-called "Definitive Edition" series, featuring the original front cover artwork. The sound quality of this release, using the Super Bit Mapping technology, is probably the best up to now, but like most of the other releases of this series, it contains some little errors: The first track is misspelled Bent Cold Side Walk on the CD body, and drummer Klaus Krüger's name does not appear in the booklet credits and on the backside insert at all. | | | |
In the same year, like Force Majeure, the album was re-released in the USA on CD with a completely different artwork. | | | |
In 2011 the original album was re-released as part of the compilation box The Virgin Years 1974-1978. |
