I function as a channel through which music emerges from the chaos of noise.

Vangelis



Vangelis released Direct in 1988, at the time a major new work that covered all aspects of his previous career. The results were quite exciting, from his familiar dynamic pieces and rhythmic approaches to more reflective passages, and a wonderful "Glorianna" with superb female operatic vocals closing out the first half.

Backroads Music / Heartbeats



Nicht viel Neues aus dem griechischen New-Age-Lager: Einer der Urgroßväter der aktuellen Modemusik, Vangelis Papathanassiou, erfreut seine An- hängerschar wieder mit den bekannt ausschweifenden Synthesizer-Phantasien, die meist haarscharf am Kitsch vorbeischrammen und Schönklang verbreiten. So weit, so gut. Glaubt man allerdings den Werbestrategen seiner Plattenfirma, dann ist "Direct" aber mehr als "nur" ein neues Album von Vangelis. Es soll vielmehr den Auftakt einer Serie bilden, die - zusammenhängend - ein umfassendes Spektrum des musikalischen Schaffens von Vangelis darstellt. Das klingt reichlich hochgestochen.
