I’m surprised (but very pleased) that you refer to Battle of Britain as a classic, I didn’t think it would have been regarded as such. I love both the Goodwin and the Walton, by the way.
You probably know I have a very flaky relationship with Jerry Goldsmith, and the only CD I have of his, although I rarely play it now, is The Satan Bug. I played some of his others to death in the early 2000s – Star Trek, Patton, The Omen, Planet of the Apes, Capricorn One – but the more I was told that I should revere them by some of the people on “the other messageboard”, the more cynical I became about them.
