The CD release of Direct includes bonus material -- which fits the flow of this intense and dramatic offering -- not included on the cassette or vinyl releases.
Like most Vangelis, this defies categorization.
It has strong elements of rock & roll, symphonic synth ambience, and new age instrumental aspects.
At the same time, the bold synthesizer strokes and washes fit the Berlin school of electronica.
Given Vangelis' proclivity for soundtrack work, it is no surprise that this disc sounds like great film music.
It is a great CD that will appeal to many different audiences.
Fans of Kitaro, Deuter, and Constance Demby will like this disc.
