About the Album

Directstep, released only in Japan, was one of the earliest albums ever released on CD. Webster Lewis became second keyboardist on this album in order for Hancock to handle the multiple layers of electronic texture that he hoped to achieve. Hancock re-recorded "I Thought It Was You" (originally on Sunlight), making it even more electronic with his vocoding. Butterfly was also re-recorded (originally on Thrust) making Directstep the second album after the original version (the first being Flood), to have a rendition of "Butterfly". (The fourth would be Dis Is Da Drum.)

Track listing

  1. "Butterfly" (Hancock, Maupin) - 7:55
  2. "Shiftless Shuffle" (Hancock, Jackson, Mason, Summers) - 7:10
  3. "I Thought It Was You" (Cohen, Hancock, Ragin) - 15:30
