Upvoting for the perfect audio and video combination.

Anyone know where that music originates from?

Crawlius: I was about to say the same. Great score; I don't recognize it.

It sounds like a film score to me -- at first I was thinking 2001 Space Odyssey, but it's not.... something like Fifth Element? John Williams?

At the time, I thought it reminded me of the Outcast soundtrack. I guess that's for good reason. The composer is Lennie Moore, the track is Deus Vult from "Trinity and Beyond" and you can get it at http://www.lenniemoore.com/sounds.html .

That clip is from Visual Concept Entertainment's documentary Trinity and Beyond, aka The Atomic Bomb Movie. They have also couple other documentaries around same subject.
