Video: An Absolutely Awe-Inspiring Planet Earth Remix

by Henrik Edberg

Here’s something to give you goose bumps.

It’s an official trailer for the BBC series Planet Earth set to the music of Icelandic band Sigur Ros.

And just as the gorgeous documentary-series – I recommend watching it in High Definition – about life on Earth it’s jaw-droppingly good. Mixing the footage with the beautiful song “Hoppipolla” from the great Icelandic bandÂ´s album Takk is an inspired and inspiring choice.

Henrik Edberg August 8, 2007 at 9:10 pm: Katie: IÂ´m glad you enjoyed it too and, yup, Sigur Ros is pretty much unbeatable.
Amy August 9, 2007 at 6:16 am: I saw this series on PBS here in the States. I’m pretty sure its the same one. And you’re right, you really have to see it in HD to do it any justice. Great video. Beautiful song.
Jackie Cameron August 9, 2007 at 1:23 pm: Hey Henrik
When this series was shown originally in the UK it was a huge hit – and the music is instantly recognisable by almost everyone as the Planet Earth tune. Glad you have found it – keep watching it gets better and better.

Henrik Edberg August 9, 2007 at 2:39 pm: Amy: Yeah, the difference between seeing it in HD and regular resolution is big, definitely a larger one than I would have thought before I started watching.

Jackie Cameron: I have only seen a four episodes so far but am definitely going to watch the rest of them soon.
Joe August 9, 2007 at 11:33 pm: Wow! It’s so heavenly beautiful. Does anybody has an idea where to get it in high quality?
