I remember hearing this theme for the first time when the movie was televised. I was blown away by it then, and still am. Henry Mancini put it best about Goldsmith as a composer, "he scares the hell out of us.". That he does.
At 4:58, it's the music over the slow motion run of the two that NASA thought they killed running onto their funeral eulogy. Love, noble music. Cheers!
@UFOSPACE1999 Horner's 'Futile Escape' in Aliens has a remarkably similar motif to Goldsmith's Capricorn One and I've heard that Horner may have also used something similar in Titanic.
Yes this is second best to COMA, also avaiable on youtube.
Also check out "The Wild Rovers" Western Soundtrack (unfortunately browsing the web will first vormit irish music all over you, that is good too, but makes searching a hell!)

@Glinkaism1 And the romantic theme at 4:58. Without romantic adventure the world would be one dark morass ruled by a Kenya alien in the White House.

@olafreinhardweyer Thanks for the nice reply! We love Jerry , and detest Irish music. Re. The Wild Rovers, the uploads are mine!

Bedtime Story's theme is good, but this version of Kay's theme is awesome. Jerry Goldsmith was, and always will be, a great composer.
