Yep. Getting the time to be really open to the music to that extent is a bit of a challenge, though.
Wake up to find out that you are the eyes of the world.
Not very often these days. The music has to be really special for me to be moved so. So those moments are few and far between. But past glories still do that to me. An example is the closing section of Vandringar i Vilsenhet by Anglagard. The quiet slow buildup with flute, military type drumming then voice mellotron explodes into dark bombastic power at 10.42 into the song, then quiets down again at the end with the voice mellotron tapes dragging which gives it a creepy sound. What a moment! Another example would also be the closing section of Seven Stones by Genesis. "The old man's guide is chance..."...then the interlude between Tony Banks' mellotron and Steve Hackett's guitar is powerful, overwhelming beauty that also brings chills and tears. Start this one at 3.42. More examples I could give, but these moments touch all of us, but each is a personal experience. And of course, what's one man's pleasure is another's poison.
Day dawns dark...it now numbers infinity.
Certainly I still get chills from 70's Genesis, Yes, and a few others---but Steven Wilson's latest albums have also given me chills---maybe not as intense as a Bank Hackett interplay or Howe at the end of Ritual---and so many other moments---but it's the closest I get.
Yeah, I do.
Most immediate ones that come to mind over the (recent) years:
Helios - Paper Tiger
Ben Frost - Killshot
Epic45 - In All the Empty Houses
Tangerine Dream - Madagasmala
Maudlin of the Well - Interlude #3
Bruce Hornsby - Here We Are Again (best sci-fi love song that didn't involve capes or mellotrons)
Elbow - Lippy Kids
Julia Holter - Hello Stranger (cover of a much older song, but her take is pretty much her own)
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Phthisis
Walter Becker - Bob is Not Your Uncle
Truth be told, if I look at my purchases then most of my buys are new music, not old releases or reissues.
My hope is that I never stop getting excited about new music. Those shivers are just too awesome to lose

Yeah, Mars Volta and Amplifier both give me the upstanding hair thing in a way that no one since VDGG have done.

Oh yes indeed. Literally gets me out of my seat each time. Her voice, the added instrumental layering atop the staccato with each subsequent phrase, the incredibly effective but understated percussion hits...it isn't necessarily the most representative SGM track for me (that'd be the Donkey Headed Adversary that immediately precedes it) but it is one that always captures my full attention. Lovely, lovely stuff.

This track in particular and the cd as a whole just slays me.Fennesz-Becs is the cd, Liminality is this track.

Ah yeah...if I'd thought about it more, 'Glide' from Black Sea would've made the list too...Fennesz does wonderful stuff. Great call, walt

Pretty much all the time, I buy a lot of new music, last was Chelsea Wolfe - Abyss. Reve General were superb at RIO so I'm looking forward to spinning their new disc when I get home.

Many chills from the above artists.
The Prog Corner
The latest from Bent Knee did the trick.

Sad Rain
Anekdoten
Just got the new Echolyn, playing for the first time and the song 'Carried Home' gave me chills. A few songs in fact I find pretty moving.
I get lots o' chills from the Big Big Train. Steven Wilson's latest as well. Lately though I'm getting chills from the song Empire of The Clouds from Iron Maiden's Book Of Souls.
I dare say I still do , but this is mostly live, when it happens... and got my shares of emotions (both chills and tears of joy) via Art Zoyd and Tobifree orchestra this w-e in Carmaux...
A lot of my spine chills and goose bumps are when the music gets dramatic or so beautiful that I shiver in delight.
I guess you mean tears of joy... yes it does happen as well (did a couple of time last w-e in RIO Fest Carmaux >> see just above). Not to mention Circus' Movin'On album in the car while driving through the Gorges Du Tarn route the day after or Osibisa's first two the next days.
Yup... of course, this is due to the fact that we know the music by heart, so the novelty and surprise is not there anymore
mmmhhh!!!... somehow, this is true, but unfortunately all too rare, and paradoxically, all too often in the jazz realm (Dafher Youssef, Ibrahim maalouf, Tigran Hamasyan or Kamasi Washington
Actually, this is much rarer for me on newer music in the rock realm (prog or not)... It used to be the case in early Post rock albums (Tarentel, GYBE!).
High hopes for Rêve Général as well, though.

Well, no. I'm assuming you genuinely misunderstood my post, though I can't see how... I'm saying I do not get moved as often NOW by new music, i.e. music of the 2010's, as I did in the 60's and 70's with music that was new at that time. There are certain songs from that era that still have much the same effect on me now as they did then.
^^
ok, my bad from misreading you
But there is a much larger proportion of 60/70's music that will produce that effect than from any other decades, though I suppose that that 60/710's music has produced less chills than in the 90/00's and 10's

These give me very tangible spiritual goosebumps pretty reliably -
Sanguine Hum - Day Of Release
Big Big Train - A Boy in Darkness, Judas Unrepentant, East Coast Racer
Echolyn - Island, Some Memorial, Messenger of All's Right
Thieves Kitchen - Of Sparks and Spires
I think you need to be prepared to listen to something several times in close frequency if you want to capture that connection you had to music in your youth when the options were fewer and listening was more concentrated. If you're trying so hard to hear everything out there that you don't give yourself that gift, you might want to reexamine your listening habits.
Quite possibly. I don't presume to tell anyone else how they should listen to music, but I think some people are so concerned with checking out everything by every artist who remotely interests them and not missing out on anything that they don't allow themselves to explore the hidden depths in any one piece of music.
Bent Knee's Shiny Eyed Babies did it for me on first listen. I was driving around on back country roads, listening, lots of chills and lots of moments that had me slapping the steering wheel and laughing like a madman. Seriously one of the best things I've heard all year.
