Notes by Mark Powell (printed on booklet of the remastered edition (2013)
"For sentimental reasons in the summer of 1987 Vangelis recorded the album
"Direct" in Athens, Greece where he'd spent his childhood and teenage years.
Released by Arista Records in October 1988 "Direct" was a significant body of
work with a title inspired by Vangelis' method of direct electronic
intervention, his own spontaneous technique, allowing him, while often eschewing
overdubs, to capture, mix and take his music to its final execution without the
influence of reasoning, the probability of alteration or the assistance of a
computer. "Direct" also represented a major leap in the production of electronic
music, utilizing for the very first time the full spectrum of attainable sounds
in the mixing and mastering process. Recognized immediately for its brilliance
by the most astute music aficionados, "Direct" continues to occupy a place at
the absolute top of the favourites lists of Vangelis fans worldwide."

Intergalactic radio station lyrics
| "I've, seen
things.. ..so many things that you can't believe. Past designs, future designs, cables in the bend. Second-hand sounds, future sounds, synthesizer dialogues. Incomprehensible software. Hi Jon, let's break some rules! Here comes a sound. We've got to record this later Same ol' factory you know here's some names for you, |
'Polyester
landscape, Nylon Oxygen, Ashes to Concrete.' etcetera.....etcetera.... etcetera..... "Oh, by the way, It's been a beautiful morning, what a morning, great morning, It's a great morning man." |
Explanatory notes:
Speech by Casey Young. Jon = Jon Anderson. "Lets break some rules" was about
going to the studio and writing some music.
Casey is using the patch names from the synths (nylon, oxygene, polyester
concrete etc).
