I found the company that the Discovery Channel hired to make the campaign: Viewpoint Creative. Anyone care to dig around their website and see if you can find an e-mail to contact them?

Thank you sooo much, you made my day! Great WorkOriginally posted by schaeppi@Mar 26 2007, 06:31 AM
You can listen to the whole track here:
http://www.apmmusic.com/myapm/main.php
On the left click "Libraries & Cover Art" and then "Epic Scores". Now you can navigate in the middle thru "Epic Action - Adventure 1" to track 13 and listen to the whole 2:41 minutes.
I just received the same info from Discovery. Just closing the loop. Nice that Bonnie actually replied.Originally posted by schaeppi@Mar 26 2007, 06:10 AM
The music you're looking for is:
APM Music - Epic Scores - Adventure 1 - 13. The Time Has Come (A)
Thanks to Daneimp @ Soundtrax 6.0
Unfortunately APM doesn't release its music commercially.
Thanks for your note! The music for the Planet Earth promo in the U.S. was taken from Associated Production Music (APM), a library of production music. You can find it via the following:
http://www.apmmusic.com/myapm/main.php
On the left menu bar toward the bottom, click on the link titled "Libraries & Cover Art" and then select "Epic Scores." Then choose the heading "Epic Action - Adventure 1" until you find track 13. The track is over two minutes, which is longer that what was actually used in the 60-second promo.
In the UK when the show aired on the BBC, I believe the promo used music from the band Sigur Ros, a song called "Hoppipolla" from the album "Takk," and in Australia, they may have used "Jupiter" from Holst's The Planets.
Best wishes,
Bonnie
I am also trying to figure out "Part II"Originally posted by prsevilla@Mar 26 2007, 07:03 PM
Yes, I am also very interested to know the source of the music in this other version of Discovery's "Planet Earth" commercial:
This is NOT the one with the majestic sounding symphony, but the one with the Coldplay sounding piano medley.
It's not over yet folks. We successfully solved part I, this is part II.
