I bump into Steve Davy quite often, true gentleman, lovely guy.

I've been a huge fan of TD now for several decades and Cyclone is one of my favourites. Force Majeure, Ricochet, Pergamon, Logos, Phaedra and a few others from that era are right up there as favourites too.

Wonderful reminiscence and snapshot of the times. Their albums are so bloody hard to find, all I have is the Fill Your Head With Rock compilation (which obviously hipped a lot of folks to them).

It's gratifying to see how many people appreciate Cyclone,I know a lot of people look down it.Madrigal Meridian is Synth gold!I also think it's Edgar's best cover painting.

Bowie didn't like TD's music at all, instead he was a fan of Edgar's solo albums.

For me Cyclone always was THE outstanding Tangerine Dream album and one of the great albums of the 20st century. It's unique.

Prolly swam sounds

where to buy

As you speak, i can hear the words of Bent cold Sidewalk, i love that track. The breadth and depth of your voice is your person, the frequency of you.. I wish you were my friend to talk to..

❤️✨🙏

Dear Steve, since at least 1980 I love and listen to your wonderful and really unique TB album "Cyclone" - played "Madrigal Meridian" on dozens of parties (early in the morning - nowadays you would call it afterhour...) as a DJ - thanks for the nice interview which now gave me a new perspective to this album. 😀👍

Steve: No meat! Germans: Not even sausages?!?

Such a positive guy😂😅😅😅

I *really* like Steve's vocals on Cyclone. The flute is a great addition to TD's sound too. For me, Cyclone is really when the band peaked. Afterwards, they began becoming more melodic, polished and predictable. The fun surprises largely stopped coming, and by the mid 80s they lost me completely. It's a pity there wasn't another album or two with Steve.

I like bent cold sidewalk. Think it sounds awesome

I can't believe, that a great voice, like Kieran White did not go on and became a truck drivers voice instead.

"Junior's Wailing" was one of the greatest Rock 'N Roll dance hits ever, in Germany. Every good club started with this song and ended it with it too.

You say that you are not using the on-board sounds. It would be interesting to hear you play a small demo with on-board sounds for comparison. I am guessing that your synthesiser setup is pretty sophisticated.

Cyclone and Force Majeure are my favorites TD albums of all time!!

Le titre Bent cold sidewalk, je trouve que le mixage entre la musique et la voix n' est pas bon, moi, j' aurais mis la musique un poil plus fort que la voix, a mon avis. Autrement, l' album est sublime😎🎹👍

Nice

the trumpet sound is terrible.

it sounds awful.

Steve Jolliffe doesn´t remember Bowies boyfriend ??

Still have my Cyclone vinyl when first release in the USA. Was surprised but happy to hear vocals!

That trumpet tho, sheesh !!

Although i completely fell in love with Tangerine Dream, due to tracks like Midnight In Tula, Optical Race, Paradise Cove and Gaudi Park, the first Tangerine Dream album i bought was indeed Cyclone. But everything worked out well at the end, because i was a huge Pink Floyd fan at the time as well. Nowadays both bands are still among my favorites, and i still consider Cyclone a strong album. I also have a soft spot, for the Tangerine Dream, Live In Paris, the Cyclone Tour 1978.

How a band could experiment with so many instruments yet come up with a piece as dismally monotonous as Madrigal Meridian, is quite beyond me. No wonder Edgar took a different direction next. Having said that, I quite like the ice-cold instrumentation on Rising Runner...and the vocals, well I can put up with them as part of the general angst

As an EWI and NuRAD player, I think this is a really nice entrant into the wind controller arena, but the lack of a bite sensor is a dealbreaker for me. Once you get used to a bite sensor, it’s pretty hard to go back to not having one. Very cool device, though! 😁

Pretty sure I saw SJ play during the festival in Bath circa 1985(?). The venue is lost in the mists of time. Can anyone confirm? I recall some wag called out: "Drum solo!" and SJ laughed.

The photo at 15.23 has nothing to do with Cyclone - it is in fact TD recording Force Majeure later in 1978 at the Hansa Tonstudios in Berlin. Engineer Eduard 'Edu' Meyer is on the left and Christoph Franke is on the right

Doesn't Steve. Have a Autobiography? Where can u get it?

Blinding album. ❤top man😊

Thank you very much for that. Tess is a Springer and we live in Wales. We have gone on walks and run every days since she was a puppy. After she broke a foreleg she had to be amputated. My big fear is that she would break her second front leg which would mean disaster. Dogs carry most of their weight on the forelimbs. And the vet warned me about that as well. But Tess just want tu run and run. After a little while she becomes very tired, very out of breath. As a strategy I'm thinking about 2 things: a stroller that is foldable and easy to assemble, that I can carry until Tess is tired, and a front leg sport dog Wheelchair to alleviate the weight on her remaining fragile at risk front leg. Choosing a stroller from the Internet so I cannot thank you more for this footage ♥♥♥

Besides the electronic music knowledge and being a excellent composer and performer, the healthy food vegetarian aspect of it is a big plus. More and more people should get into it.

Anyone know how I could get this in the US? It's perfect! I've looked everywhere...Amazon and pet stores that actually sold it are out and I can't seem to find any sellers. Would love the help. Thanks!

I find it disappointing that the instrument needs other instruments to sound good.

Fan te astic. You is + .

Love Tangerine Dream.

Bent cold sidewalk..

The saxes are a bit dodgy in every demo I've seen, and it's interesting that you omitted/avoided them here. The trumpet, low string/cello, and violin sounds are surprisingly good, though. Are they factory presets or are you controlling something external on the Mac?

One of my favorites, too. However years ago, I played it for my friend who was an addict. He said that they were probably smoking some bad Sh@t. :0

Great - thanks for sharing - Martin just made a new album - Wailing again - With some good stuff on it and some for oldies

Madrigal Meridian is excellent. I don’t know the proper musical name for them is, I call them arpeggiated runs, but they have incredible energy in the song.

My first TD album bought Oct 84. A guy I met on the Mike Oldfield tour in Brussels reconmened TD to me as another instrumental band. I wasted no time and bought Cyclone from either Manchester HMV or Virgin and was miffed at the fact it had vocals. Suffice to say it a great album. Love it.

Wow... absolutely stunning....

4:20 I take it this was not the infamous first public appearance of King Crimson?

Hey Steve, I watched for 30 secs and immediately asked all my colleagues to join and watched all the way to the end. It is truly epic play! There are people who like the lights on R1, who like the flute play of R1, but for an artist like you, you can pull if off by just playing!

want one

Do they come large and strong enough for Great Danes, Irish wolfhounds and st. Bernards? Would be so good to get the old large ones out with my 3.
