Where this album fits
- Career context
- Upon its release in 1988, 'Direct' marked Vangelis's return to a more personal and accessible sound following his highly acclaimed film scores like 'Blade Runner' (1982). This album represented a shift as it showcased his exploration of new age and ambient music while moving away from strictly cinematic compositions. It was a time when Vangelis sought to re-establish his artistic identity beyond the confines of film soundtracks.
