I listen to it before I go to bed on most nights.

Sounds cool! I can't listen to it before I go to bed though. It messes with my mind. See my review to see what I mean by that.

The whole Still Life album (by Opeth) has been giving me multiple chills down my spine even though I've been listening to it a lot lately, Benighted is the track that does it the most.

I don't think I've heard of anyone doing that. it has religious resaons indeed. Friede and I are High Priestesses of Gaia, the ancient Greek Goddess of the Earth. being completely hairless is a symbol of purity. you may call us nuts, but I assure you we are anything but nuts. "eccentric" would be a better term.as to the how: several laser applications which had to be repeated especially often on the heads until there finally was no more regrowth. only the eyelashes were plucked with automatic tweezers until they did not regrow anymore. and if you say "ouch" to that: it did not hurt at all; one hardly feels it when using automatic tweezers

¡Auch!... I cut my own hair, since it's cheap and comfortable and prevents me from having to think about what to do with it, and it's suitable on the bike. I don't know if I would go for some laser in my head.

Kit Watkins solo in "Ibby It Is" by Happy The Man from the album Crafty Hands is truly one of those moments for me.
Also towards the end of "Coming Like Light" by IZZ, there is a chromatic chord change which does it for me every time, just amazingly beautiful.

the 'Soon' segment of Yes' Gates of Delirium.............so powerful so awe-inspiring yet sad following the sonic chaos before that............

Tortoise's 'Glass Museum', one ever-shifting yet ever beautiful piece of music.........

King Crimson - The Devil's Triangle
especially at the 7:54 mark.

Amon Duul II - Eye-Shaking King
right at the 0:35 point.  f**kING HEAVY!!!

Caravan - And I Wish I Were Stoned
the little part when Pye sings "Give me all your love in a smile, and I'll tell you what I'm thinking.  Let me see the world through your eyes, and I'll show you where I'm sitting"  I love this line

Dom - Edge Of Time
after the 5:26 mark, such a beautiful piece

Dies Irae - Trip
the whole song basically.  I love the vocals!  The video for this song is as trippy as the song itself.

Hawkwind - The Golden Void
the powerful mellotrons and loud synths is what gets me.  Daves vocals help too

Aphrodite's Child - Altamont
the vocals and brass section makes this song very powerful

Nektar - Desolation Valley
the ending build up to Waves

Novalis - Wunderschatze
The acoustic part with the lovely vocals

Pink Floyd - Cirrus Minor
the last set of notes Rick plays at the end

Van Der Graaf Generator - Man-Erg
when Peter says, "And I Am Doomed"

The first time I had goose bumps with music was when I first discovered In the Court of the Crimson King around the age of 7. More accurately when I heard the intro to 21st Century Schizoid Man for the first time, you know that quiet mellotron part that almost sounds like a very distant train whistle, and then, without any expectation, a really heavy sound comes out of the speakers... I remember being really scared of that particular moment.

Finally someone who agrees with me - the Mellotron finale to that song is so simple, yet it gets me every time! I'm seeing The Musical Box tomorrow evening in Bristol (UK) & if they play that live, there's a good chance of an embarrassing trouser accident

Other moments -

Tangerine Dream - the opening sequence from Logos, part 1 (I so wish I went to that gig in 1982!)

Hawkwind - The Golden Void (the best moment from their best album; Brock's voice at its most haunting)

Deep Purple - Jon Lord's Hammond solos on 'Burn' from Made In Europe or 'Highway Star' from Made In Japan

Well, last Tuesday i went to a Roger Waters´concert... im still happy and amazed, so you can imagine i had a goosebumps overdose
