 WorldNetDaily: Eco-wackos and the Blue Planet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Well, the planet is blue — when it is blue — because about three-quarters of the Earth's surface is covered with water, and the whole planet is covered with an atmosphere (about 80 percent nitrogen and 20 percent oxygen) which is transparent to visible light, incoming and outgoing.
On the other hand, the planet is white — when it is white — because sunlight evaporates surface water, changing it into water vapor — a gas like nitrogen and oxygen and also transparent to visible light.
Although the water vapor in the atmosphere is transparent to incoming and reflected visible sunlight, it is not transparent to the infrared radiation emitted by the planet's hot surface.

Blue Planet is nothing like this, which is probably for the best, and the sound of Fenton's orchestrations capture the feel of the ocean.
This theme is repeated in "Blue Whale", but slower and is passed between a solo oboe, French horn, and then the brass.
Fenton is one of the true masters of orchestration around today, and this stunning example dances between the colossal and the delicate with the utmost of ease.

 Filmtracks: The Blue Planet (George Fenton)
The Blue Planet: (George Fenton) Wildly popular in the United Kingdom, this eight hour long series of shows by the BBC Natural History Unit aired in 2001 after years of collecting breathtaking original footage to create one of the most comprehensive ocean wildlife films of all time.
What Fenton has produced for The Blue Planet is really little different from what you'd expect from the usual large-ensemble, massive score for an IMAX film.
The only failing of these sections on the CD is their odd mixing; the sound quality begins rather muted and picks up in clarity near the end of the album.
