Most achingly-beautiful music

Branford Marsalis: "Eternal". Slow paced "beautiful" jazz. Great recording quality. Also, the soundtrack to "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon". If you like cello and flute you'll love this one.

Radiohead's Amnesiac, Nirvana's Nevermind, The Smiths Louder Than Bombs (especially Oscilate Wildly), The Cure's A Forest, Miles Davis Kind of Blue, John Coltrane A Love Supreme, The Clash's Sandinista, Otis Redding's Try a Little Tenderness, White Town's Your Woman, The Chemical Brother's Come Inside (remix also), Bad Brains Sacred Love, Canned Heat's On the Road Again, Shivaree's Goodnight Moon, Peter Murphy's Cuts You Up, Joy Division (all of their music espcially Dead Souls and Love Will Tear Us Apart), New Order's Bizarre Love Triangle and Blue Monday (of course), Kansas Dust in the Wind, The Damned In Dulce Decorum, The The's Dogs of Lust, Teddy Pendergrass Love TKO, Of Montreal's The Party's Crashing Us Now...I could go on and on!

AVALANCHE--Last song on New Order's Republic--Hands Down!

"Love Will Keep Us Together" by The Captain(not really a captain) and Tennille.
So pretty it hurts.
Ouch.

Veljo Tormis: "The Lost Geese" from "Litany to Thunder" - by Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir - 2 sopranos in conversation with piano accompaniment

"A Feather on the Breath of God" - compositions by Hildegard of Bingen - sung by Emma Kirkby and Gothic Voices

"Zaide" the piece Arie Ruhne Sanft - my favourite is Sandrine Piau on her CD "Mozart Opera Arias"

Irina Mikhailova's CD "Russian Twilight". Several amazing tracks that are painfully beautiful: Zarya, Zurahvo

"Lux Feminae" by Montserrat Figueras.

Achingly-beautiful music to me always involves the female voice - nothing else comes close - I enter Angelic Realms and long to leave this earthly realm.
