> I regret not re-listening to Our Planet nor hearing Lost in Space at all before posting my list. Ah well.
It would've been fascinating to explore the 8-album version of Our Planet. But 2+ hours seemed plenty as a standalone listen, and additional purchases are probably only merited after I watch the series.
At times Lost in Space S2 is such a WALL. OF. SOUND. In a good way. It's probably my favorite thing Lennertz has ever written, even surpassing Warhawk.
> Apollo 13 is SO FREAKIN GOOD.
Agreed. It's a classic, even with the occasional self-referencing (you can imagine me hearing Sneakers for the first time a few years ago and going 'OH...that's where that came from'). And the decision by Intrada to program the atmospheric material at the end of disc 1 was a great decision.
> Which were the Shire and Addison scores that got you?
The one Shire I picked up was Return to Oz. Intrada's expansion added a lot of great material. And the credits piece remains a highlight of the 1980s.
The Addison exploration started with the terrific Chandos album. From the FSM MGM Treasury I got the The Honey Pot and The Charge of the Light Brigade.
I later picked up Tom Jones, The Amorous Adventures of Moll Flanders, and Joseph Andrews, all rather entertaining if (necessarily) a bit all over the place. Only Grace Quigley was a disappointment, and even it had its moments.
It may be hard to expand that collection much further, or rather beyond the Ryko CD for A Bridge Too Far and the two episodes of Amazing Stories that are on my shelves somewhere. Sleuth, The Crimson Pirate, and Strange Invaders command high prices on the secondary market. The Seven-Per-Cent Solution was never released on CD. Maybe Torn Curtain?
> Raise the Titanic is SO GOOD.
I think I held off on picking this up on the off chance I could find a reasonably-priced copy of the CD somewhere. I finally broke down and bought the tracks digitally.
