 "Direct is a very unique album in Vangelis's discography, almost a one-off, very distant from the typical atmospheres of the Greek artist."

 "Unfortunately, the excessive number of tracks negatively impacts the overall quality, but those five or six successful tracks make it worth revisiting."

Vangelis' 'Direct' is a distinctive album mixing symphonic classical melodies with 1980s pop-influenced electronic sounds. It marks a turning point with the use of the Direct Sequencer and a move back to Greece. While some tracks stand out with bright and optimistic tones, others feel slow and less engaging. The album's extended length impacts overall quality but contains several rewarding moments worth revisiting. Dive into Vangelis' 'Direct' to experience a bold mix of symphonic and 80s electronic sounds—listen and explore this unique phase!
