What music........

[Aperitif]

... don't forget the Cage...

 

[Rhythm Thief]

Jon Spencer always does it for me. Gets really good about two minutes in, and is worth watching all the way to the end.

 

[Kovu]

Aperitif, I would have thought your favourite composers would be Bach, Offenbach and Depussy.

You have to love depussy.
Or debussy, which ever floats your boat
Maybe not the same type of right, but Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt always makes hairs rise on my arms.

 

[pes]

T-Rex "Jeepster" always does it for me.

May have something to do with the fact that it was playing when I had my first sexual experience. I was 11 and it was just a quick feel

See sig.

RT - check this out. As Joe Strummer said: Let Nina Simone rule the world!

 

[Cubist]

Three definites:

Barber's Adagio for strings..

Comfortably Numb, particularly the Pulse live version.

Under the Gun by Sisters of Mercy

 

[Night Train]

Odissea - Duetto
I often have this recording loud in the car. Gets me everytime.

Also, but in a different way Dixie Chicks - Travellin' Soldier.

 

[Dave5N]

I'm just looking for a way to set the world on fire

 

[DJ]

genuinely makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck?

I have a number of tracks, but this is one of my favourites:

That was brilliant, really relaxed me when I was feeling a bit stressed.

Thankyou

Mozart's Requiem in D Minor:

The beginning is truly hair-raising.

[Sh4rkyBloke]

Bizet's Temple of the Pearl Fishers duet has to be in there. The interweaving of the two voices and the haunting melody raises the hairs on the back of my neck every time.

While we're in an Opera type mode... Turandot's Nessun Dorma, but only by the one man who has really done it justice with his absolutely effortless rendition - Pavarotti. RIP Luciano.

Also, from the great film The Shawshank Redemption (if you haven't seen it, why not???) the following clip of the S'ull Aria from Mozart's Marriage of Figaro (and here without the film) - outstanding stuff!

Can't think of any non-classical/opera stuff at the moment.

The Lark Ascending, Vaughan Williams always conjures up visions of young English men going off to fight in a war.
I'm off to Belgium next month and will visit some war cemetries and hope to hear the Last Post played at Ypres. I'll be blubbing.

There's a Feargal Sharkey version somewhere which I prefer to Sinead.
Finally I think if there's anything to get the hairs going on the back of the neck its the Uilleann pipes (not to everyones taste I know.. but even still will raise the hairs on the back of your neck !)
Here's something from Davy Spillane with what seems to be a 70s tourism film attached .. but you can just listen.

Allegri's Miserere and another one for Spem and a little mastodon
