VANGELIS - DEEP SLEEP & CONTEMPLATION (Black Screen after 1 Hour) Full Tegos Tapes 9 Hours
WHAT ARE THE TEGOS TAPES:
Book with VHS: Microneurosurgery With Video Tapes
(aka: The Tegos Tapes) (1998)
Vangelis composed special music to accompany video recordings included in the medical book "Microsurgery With Video Tapes", published in 1998. The video tapes capture 35 microneurosurgical cases that, together with the book, intend to provide training for people active in this field.
The author of the book, Dr. Stergios Tegos is a good friend of Vangelis. He explains in the introduction of the book that he had the pleasure over the years to learn the neurophysiological processes of Vangelis' musical creativity and the methods by which he creates music. Dr Tegos reveales he had asked Vangelis for two favours. The first was to allow him to obtain a magnetic resonance image of Vangelis' brain. The second was for Vangelis to compose music to accompany the video recordings for his book. Vangelis fulfilled the second request.
The 35 cases are spread over three VHS video tapes. Each tape contains approximately 4 hours of material, resulting in almost 12 hours of video, with a stunning 12 hours of new Vangelis music. All of it unique, none of it repeated, or ever heard before. A new Vangelis composition layed out under every case.
The 3 tapes as well as the pages of the book are constructed in a lavish case, designed to resemble a large book, perfectly fitting next to other books on a book shelve. The textbook attached to the case describing each of the 35 test cases in English as well as Greek languages, plus introductory texts that include a brief on Vangelis, written by Dr. Tegos and a foreword by Vangelis on the project.
The audio format of the video tapes includes a high quality, hifi stereo track, allowing the music to plays at the full frequency-range and in stereo. There is one downside for fans of the music: Dr. Tegos occasionally narates his work, adding voice overs that slightly overbear the music at times. While the narration takes place at key moments during the video, most of the video content is streamed with long and undisturbed music.
The style of the music is quite unlike Vangelis' well known works. The music does not indulge in melodies or swell up into the big emotional phrases Vangelis is so famous for. It's a more sedate style, distinctly electronic in character, clearly intended as a backdrop and not to overpower the visuals or the training. The feeling throughout is pleasant, reflective and relaxing, quite richly arranged with electronic sounds.
Vangelis' work for this medical release was long rumoured among fans, but availability remained a mystery until it was discovered that the box is commercially available as specialized medical literature. The book can be obtained exclusively from a Greek dealer. Either by buying it at their store in Athens, or indeed, by ordering on-line from their web site:

Vangelis fans commonly refer to this item and its music as "The Tegos Tapes".
