I had never heard the song before, but I now agree with Kinetic regarding St. Elmo's Fire. In an attempt to sound smart, I'm gonna say that's some pretty good mixing and sampling he's doing, or at least that's the way it sounds. So many different sounds, yet it all falls together.

I second the "Song To The Siren" love. Tim Buckley's original version is fairly trippy.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again

 

Adagio for strings by samuel barber is the single most powerful piece of music ever made BAR NONE!

 

I defy you not to break down in tears during it.

Across the night and World upon your shoulders by Silverchair. Oh and Novermber rain too.

 

I also agree with however said Philosophy in a tea cup from the trigun soundtrack.

The most beautiful music I know? Hmm... I have many different standards of what "beautiful" music is...

 

 

For example, I think the entire Lateralus album from Tool is a work of beauty. On the other hand, I find music from Tori Amos, Travis, Radiohead, and U2 to be beautiful as well. I guess the music just has to hit a certain note with me.

Simon & Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Water

Bob Marley & The Wailers - No Women No Cry/One Love

Tom Waits - Time (One of many)

Ryan Adams - Oh My Sweet Carolina/Call Me On Your Way Back Home & several old Whiskeytown songs as well.

Throwing Muses - Two Step

Wilco - Misunderstood/Sunken Treasure and Being There in general. Lesser known stuff like Dash 7 from A.M and especially Please Tell My Brother from Golden Smog's second album are Jeff Tweedy at his quietest and most affecting.

Uncle Tupelo - March 16-20 album

Bonnie Prince Billy - I See A Darkness (So good Johnny Cash covered it)

Eels - The second half of the Electro-Shock Blues album

Matthew Sweet - Your Sweet Voice/Nothing Lasts

Smog - Teenage Spaceship

Flaming Lips - Feeling Yourself Disintegrate/Waitin' For A Superman. The Soft Bulletin was way too patchy IMO to be hailed a masterpiece but these two songs definately sounded unique and powerful.

Wagon - Broken Lines

Four Tet - My Angel Rocks Back And Forth (My dream type of Electronica. As distinctive as Aphex Twin or Boards Of Canada but with a warmer & more melodic side)

REM - Automatic For The People & Out Of Time albums especially and countless other songs.

The Guthries - Pure Calm/Careful Love. Anything Ruth Minnkin sings on really. Ditto for Emmylou Harris and Gillian Welch.

The Replacements - The triple whammy of Unsatisfied, Sixteen Blue and Answering Machine on Let It Be is enough to bring a lump to your throat.

The Pogues - A Pair Of Brown Eyes/Fairytale Of New York/A Rainy Night In Soho/And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda

The Handsome Family - Gravity/No One Fell Asleep Alone/Too Much Wine. I've never heard Kris Kristofferson's original but their cover of Sunday Morning Comind Down is another beautiful song.

Richard Hawley - Late Night Final album. He's classified as a bit of a Radio 2/Mojo reader type artist but this album is superb & a real grower. His voice is his most obvious strength but he's got a real personality as a songwriter as this is one of those albums that stands as up as a connected vision rather than just a collection of songs.

Red House Painters - Red House Painters . Katy Song/Grace Cathedral Park/Take Me Out etc.

That's from the end of "Platoon" right?If so,yeah that's an awesome peice of music.

 

I also would like to mention "Catch The Breeze" by Slowdive.And when I thinking of "Beautiful music" I'm usually reminded of something dreamy and trippy.
