Aye Kirliann Selections is more than an album, listening to it really is quite an experience.
Kirlian shores would have to be my fav tune
NOTE: I'm not even into that kind of music, but it's so beautiful.

Love the piano-only traxx on Kirlian Selections. All of his piano-only shit, really. Benn is on some shit for real. I mean, like on some crazy shit for real.

Not meaning to bring a depressing tone to the proceedings, but mine is 'Wish You Were Here' By Pink Floyd. It's the song I sang for my Dad at his funeral, and I can barely listen to it now and hold it together, heh. The emotional charge that song carries for me is phenomenal, and it brings me a weird kind of depressing comfort, as well as tears and goosebumps
Also, the entire guitar Solo in this (8:00 is the creamworthiest bit ever):
Elliot Smith, Waltz #2 (XO). The lyrics are just... You know when someone writes a song and it feels like they had you in mind because it's just so appropriate?... an arrow of emotion right through your soul... *shudder*
And for some reason, this tune does it for me too. Something about the way it builds to that solo...
This NEVER fails. Shut up all you bandwagon Nirvana haters.
Also, see the classical music thread. Pretty much everything in that
But I saved the best 'till last:

The World On Higher Downs - Euclid (when the violins melt seamlessly into the ambience of the track)
Stars Of The Lid - Tippy's Demise (again, the introduction of strings atop deep bass drones)
Philip Glass - Opening (it's practically all perfect)
Erik Satie's Gnossiennes No.2 (hard to pinpoint what it is about this one. the change from elation to depression within a few notes is majestic)
Mogwai - Now You're Taken ("like a bird, a feather bed..." etc.)
Red House Painters - Katy Song ("without you what does my life amount to..." totally cuts me up in the best possible way)
Codeine - Loss Leader (the chorus and general feeling of the track is sublime. shudders every time!)
Slint - Good Morning, Captain (if "i miss you" doesn't explain it then i dunno what will)
Eluvium - Indoor Swimming At The Space Station (can't explain this one. it just happens, at different points. usually when i realise what an incredible piece of music i'm listening to)
Sam Cooke - Nothing Can Change This Love (guitar solo back into singing again)
Elliott Smith - Ballad Of Big Nothing (all of the "oooh oooh"s get me every time)
Daitro - Nous Sommes D'ici (final riffage with screams and trem picked solo, fuck yes!)
The Thermals - Power Doesn't Run On Nothing ("so let the sun bathe..." is perfect)
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Motherfucker=Redeemer (both parts but especially the first crescendo in part 1, fucking hell!)
will do more later

Massive attack - Teardrop (When the vocals kick in, and when the main riff drops out and it's just percussion)
Boards Of Canada - Roygbiv (when that riff and the piano comes in)
Boards of Canada - Everything You Do Is A Balloon (Quite a way into the song, something really subtle changes and it's amazing)
65daysofstatic - Drove Through Ghosts To Het Here (When the piano first comes in, and when everything else cuts out)
Placebo - Special Needs (The first 3 notes of that delayed piano, just before it kicks in, works so perfectly)
Benga - 26 Basslines (That build up to the second drop, wierdly)

The bit you mentioned on Drove Through Ghosts To Get Here is wonderful. It's such a good album opener. The only other track I can think of that comes close to that level of ORSUM to open an album is God is an Astronaut - Fragile

Posts so far have been great! So many tunes I didn't know!
Listen the tune, it will be fucked up in the start, sit through it, try to focus on the song :>
at 1:06 you will feel like jumping up, smiling like a psycho and just dance like and idiot!
at 1:25 the goosebumps will strike

Ah, all this Floyd talk has reminded me
David Gilmour's guitar solo from around 4 minutes on until the end of the tune is so amazingly wonderful.
Alan Parsons, Shpongle and Gilmour = Dream lineup. They should collaborate on more tracks.

You know it! The lyrics are insane and the fact that he keeps on going makes it even better.

Totally agree with the one who mentionned Polynomial-C.
Mt. Saint-Michel Mix is freaking intense too. Love the part with the femal voice. Vorhosbn is great as a whole.
Wisp - All his might...such a sick, sick, sick track.
The Doors - The End.
