I'm in a content mood today, so I have no idea why Tangerine Dream's "Bent Cold Sidewalk" has planted itself so firmly in my mind. I bought the "Cyclone" cassette with this track on it in 1990. At the time, it was my idea of music for a bad or mediocre day--grim, foreboding synthesizer and vocals.
I respect the intricacies of the track, but I still think it's best reserved for stormy days and times when the world looks bleak.
