Favourite goosebump moment in music?

[kejk]

What piece of audio gave you the most intense goosebumps? I mean, really, closing your eyes and just being taken up there!

For me it would 100% have to be the guitar in the breakdown starting at 2:00 minutes into The Flashbulb - Kirlian Choices, don't bother skipping there, listen to the whole tune with your eyes closed as loud as possible!

I hope you will supply me with more of these intense moments in music

I get a lot of goosebump but I can't remember something atm

Oh wait, when Instra:mental - Watching You finally drops, instant goosebumps.

[elibomyekip]

Too many Burial tunes.
When the cut up Fleetwood Mac vocals come in at around 2:40 on The Field - Everday do it for me so much. Easily my favourite tune of all time.
The ambient tones in the background of Squarepusher - Tundra
The entire of The Flashbulb - Sensual Data. Such a pretty minimal dnb track. Pretty melody, that 'It's a beautiful day' sample and the 'ardcore granular synthesis on the drums towards the end.
The melancholy strings in Venetian Snares - Felbomlasztott Mentökocsi just affect me in an odd way, just give me full on images of a snowy nameless film noir city, I'm talking Max Payne sort of business.
One that never ceases to amaze me is 65daysofstatic - Hole. The strings that come out of nowhere in the chorus are just insane.

@around 1.30, but listen to the entire song.
Also, Boards of Canada - Dayvan cowboy in about a billion different places. That initial guitar drop @ 2:07 is the first one, then again when the drums get experimental at around 3:07 followed by the tubular bell sounding synths that kick in @ 3:17, and finally at 3:50 when those strings come in the background. That entire tune is like an orgasm conveyed in sound waves.
Aphex Twin - On and IZ-US are standard too. Back when his productions were utterly dreamy.
Just that kid saying 'stop making that big face!' at the start of iz-us gets me ready for the sea of emotions that are about to kick in. Then when those synthesised strings kick in at around 0:37, you know you're in for a beautiful, beautiful song.
The synth melody in Clark - Future Daniels from around 2 minutes in gets to me too.
Music is just too good.
Pretty much every God is an Astronaut song makes those hairs stand up too.

I'm sure there are more but I cannae be bothered any more and I'm just gonna go and listen to everything I've just put on this list

[particle-jim]

the bit in "cant we all dream" by sikth at about 5:25 when it comes back in with the violin


various points on the album colors by btbam but particularly the chorus of "sun of nothing" and also in "white walls" when it all kicks off after the quiet bit and then goes into the 'this is all we haaaaaave when we die" bit... and of course the final 2-3 minutes which is just the best riff/solo ever and is the climax of the song/album and then finally ends on a 6/8 piano rendition of the chorus to sun of nothing (goosebumps and tears of joy!)

(Only second half of song... the song is to long to put into one video)

the last 2 and a half minutes of dirty boy by cardiacs where it holds that one note seemingly forever


everything from the glockenspiel motif to the industrial noises makes this the best intro tape ever and always gives goosebumps as it means that cardiacs are making their way to the stage


3:40 onwards, when it drops it makes me want to reach out into the sky until im stretched so thin and tall that i cant be seen
AAALLL OF THE NOISE TAKES ME TO THE OUTSIDE WHERE THERE'S ALL CREATION STRIDING IN CELEBRATING HAPPINESS AND JOY ALL AROUND THE WORLD, ON LAND AND IN THE SEAAAA!

[Pedro Sánchez]

Bjork - Jòga (Them stings )
