Id have to second that "boom" in Soma.Fantastic.
Tonights the Night- Neil Young
Sinead O Conner does the trick a few times on "I do not want what I havent got"
Dire Straits(yes!)play the single most chilling song Ive heard- a live version of "Where do you think youre going". We he moans "you better go with me girl" you know hes not fooling around.Scary shit.
Nirvana- the end of that Leadbelly tune where he lets out a goulish sigh or breath on Unplugged
Otis Redding "Dock of the Bay" of course.

probably lots more. For ages I couldn't think of any answer to this thread but then Julie C came on my playlist.

But, maybe more than this, pretty much all of the Delgados' new album. It's like their previous stuff, but it's all realised so much better than anything they've done before, probably even Peloton - this could just be euphoria induced by putting 'The Light Before We Land' on again a minute ago, but... no, it isn't. It has a children's choir on a bit of it, and even that doesn't sound shite. It may just be me being indie, and the probability that no-one else will like it, and that no, it might not be breaking any new ground, and yeah, maybe it does sound fucking 'prog', as some will probably say, and perhaps there's fucking 'Dave Fridmann wank' in there somewhere... I don't have the words for this one. It comes out October 14th. And you may well hate it. It's worth the risk though, in my eyes anyway. Argh. Plugging. Off Topic. Fuck-uck-uck....

Seconding the huge depth charge thingy in 'Chasing a Bee' and also the Jimmy Cliff - ESPECIALLY when actually watching him wander through Kingston in the film.
Also, the 'i must confess that my lonliness...' bit in the middle of 'Hit me baby one more time' where the tune kind of turns inside out
the ridiculously intense 'BABY! BABY! BABY!' in 'I want you back'
in Jonathon Richman's 'Hospital', 'last time i walked down your street, there probably were, uh, tears in my eyes'
the building paranoid mania in the ojays' 'backstabbers' - " i keep getting visits from all my friends.........they come to my house again and again and again and again........WELL ARE THEY HERE TO SEE MY WOMAN? I DON'T EVEN BE HOME BUT THEY JUST KEEP COMING"
the bit i 'you've lost that loving feeling' where they go absolutely mental imploring over each other to their baby
"all i want is peace and love on this planet" massive barrage of PE noise come to a dead halt, Chuck D sounding more righteous than even he's managed before "ain't that how god planned it" massive barrage begins again
the accapella breakdown bit in the first song on GZA's 'liquid swords' where it all comes close to falling apart and then gathers itself back together as the beat comes in.
"hey pauly pauly paul let's have a ball" from 'gigantic'
"well i dropped into a church, along the way. I GOT DOWN ON MY KNEES....." from California Dreamin'. And whenever this is played in 'Chunking Express' (which is often), well it's just all too much....

Grandaddy - So You'll Aim Towards The Stars
Boards of Canada - Geogaddi
and responding to various comments earlier in the thread, I got 100 Days Off by Underworld last week and it's been glued inside my CD player ever since - it's far more chilled than Beaucoup Fish but definitely worth buying.

Townes van Zandt - "If I had no place to fall" for the when his voice first comes in with the title line and the ache forces the shiver down
Chopin - Nocturnes - the really painful one towards the end of the first side of the LP - all the way through he's been almost delivering on the melody but never quite and then finally lets it out but in a really uncomfortable way that's still beautiful. Like having your genitals whipped at the point of orgasm or something.
EPMD - "Get off the bandwagon" - when the music stops halfway through and Erick just says "Sucker" in a really pitying way. Ooooh.
Q-Tex - "the power of love" - if you remember the name of the song you probably know why...

Air's "La Femme D'Argent" doesn't move me emotionally, but it has an incredibly calming physical effect, it must be the equivalent of a recording of my brainwaves (slow, boring, unoriginal...).

Nightime-Big Star ("I hate it here I hate it here, get me out of here, I hate it here")
Beauty Queen (the start, mainly..."Valerie please, believe, it never could work out")
Satellite of Love-Lou Reed (the harmonies at the end are just so beautiful)
Why Does Nobody Want You-Kenickie
Together Again-Janet Jackson
You CanÕt Put Your Arms Around a Memory-Johnny Thunders (that melancholy, echo-y solo)
What's Your Name-the Ramones
I'm A Human Being - New York Dolls ( "a riff-raff human being!")
DonÕt Worry Baby-Beach Boys
The Frogs-Weird on the Avenue
Always Crashing in the Same Car-David Bowie
Gene Pitney-Town Without Pity (the way he drags out the "bad" in "people talk about how bad we are")

"The Killing Moon" by ye olde Bunnymen used to conjure this same effect (and still can, when the mood and alcohol content is right), but it may get a bit too much airplay to still pack the spine-tingle potency. I guess it's also a bit of a cliche, too.
The theme from "Picnic at Hanging Rock" by ::cough:: ::cough::: er...pan-flute maestro, Zamfir...is quite chilling as well.

i'd suggest isan's remix of seefeel's 'When Face Was Face' from the warp 10+3 compilation. couple of other tracks on their with a similar feel too. which reminds me of:
the surgeon remix of 'mogwai fear satan' (on 'kicking a dead pig')
stereolab 'lo boob oscilator'
insides 'clear skin' (formerly earwig, 38 minute ambient piece on 4ad offshoot guernica)
and in a different vein:several melt banana tracks, not sure of names, only heard them on peel.

And, I have to confess that every time I hear Eminem's "cleaning out my closet" on the radio (ok, not thaaat many times), it gets me. As much of a jerk as he may be, he gets so damn personal. it creeps me.
Neil Young - old man (cheesy maybe, but a lot of Harvest and Everybody Knows This is Nowhere really get to me).
I'm amazed I haven't seen anyone mention the cure yet. I'm sure there must be something... or some leonard cohen.
I don't know this just makes me think about my angsty high school years. there were plenty of shivering spine soundtracks then.
and, I'm sure I'm ducking, but phil collin's "in the air tonight" gets me...I love the sounds and the echo on his voice and there's the story. I wonder how many folks had for their prom song this ditty 'bout murder and loss.
