Someone else recommended I check that group out but I'd forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder!

Among classical music, Samuel Barber's Addagio for Strings gives you the goose bumps like few others.
 
Terje Rypdal has a slight variation on this ... called Adagietto ... and it is the same.

Yes it is and sad to a point that you get to hear FZ in and out of character laughing during his narration as the Central Scrutenizer. He left us far too soon. What a great talent he was.

I'm still going to have to go with Dark Side Of The Moon, although I admit, it had a stronger effect on me about a year ago when I first listened to it.

If albums are not an option, I'll go with Comfortably Numb or High Hopes.

Personally, I can't decide.  Beauty has many guises,sometimes soft sometimes crystal.  Ommadawn is an extended piece of pastoral beauty, whereas Close To The Edge is an extended moment of revelation. Annie Haslam's version of YES's "Turn of the Century" reaches a level beyond which nothing can go.   Maybe we should pick music that sets a standard. Tongue

As usual, whenever Annie Haslam is mentioned, I like to make a case for Rockalise.  I don't understand why, even among her fans, it's so underrated. Easily her best singing and maybe the most beautiful singing I have heard, a magnificent confluence of technicality, musicality and, above all, feeling.

The first album of Miriodor mated with a good dose depression and of existential dispair. Damn, there IS ONE good thing about heavy depression. It gives heavy emotional impact to music that sounds tame nowadays...

There is a piece of music that when the measures come in, I am just overwhelmed  by it's great beauty. The piece is "All In A Mouse's Night" by Genesis from their 1976 release "Wind And Wuthering" and the specific measure is when Phil says "...it only took one blow.." the music from this point on till the end is what I likeAngry

The bit in Vangelis' Heaven and Hell that was used by Carl Sagan in his TV series Cosmos is very beautiful. 
 
Towards the end of side 1 of the album if i recall correctly.

The Genesis album "Trespass" has two songs....Dusk and Stagnation.  I don't think the boys ever produced anything  More beautiful than those.

If I had to chose something, it would probably be The Carpet Crawlers by Genesis.

Would you like some Bailey's?

The Steve Howe, Rick Wakeman duet in And You And I is another very pretty bit of music - especially on the Yessongs version.
