Mahavishnu Orchestra - Eternity's Breath (part 1 &2)

The melody, the terrifying level of musicianship, the complexity...

Eternity's Breath

Genesis - The Lamia

Steve Hackett's guitar solo gets me every time, but the entire song is beautiful,

The Lamia

Elliott Carter - Concerto for Orchestra

Complex, exhilarating, cathartic...

Concerto for Orchestra (1969)

John Coltrane - A Love Supreme

Yep. Every time...

A Love Supreme

Renaissance - Can You Hear Me?

Pretty much anytime Annie Haslam opens her mouth to sing, I get chills. Near perfect intonation, effortless 5 octave range, loads of emotion. Great song by this underrated prog band.
