Australia: The Last Barrier United Kingdom videocassette front coverVangelis became directly involved with Jacques Cousteau in the 90s. Mr. Cousteau was probably impressed with Vangelis' collaborations with Frederic Rossif (who died in 1990). There are videos that feature previously released music by Vangelis and some that feature new compositions by Vangelis. All of those with new music appear to be confined to the Rediscovery of the World series. However, not every video in that series has Vangelis music. This is still being actively researched, and updates will be added here as they come up. Slowly but surely, Cousteau is being released on DVD.

(August 3, 2005) NOTE: I am adding "Mirage of the Sea" to the list, which is another film from the "Rediscovery of the World" series. I did not think it was available in a commercial format but I was wrong, it is (or was, now out-of-print) available in Brazil! And I can tell you, the music is not the same as from the other two episodes (Indonesia and Sumatra). But the sound on this Brazilian videotape is horrible! The stereo track is totally drowned out by the dubbed Portugeuse narration added to the tape! What a pity. [Thanks Mark!]
