A few things off the top of my head that move me are Autechre's '444',
AA's 'Mountain Goat', Aphex Twin's 'XTAL', Frank De Wulf's mix of
The Orb's 'Blue Room', etc.. There are a few others; I like Jam & Spoon's
'Stella' a lot, and 'Camargue' by CJ Bolland is really nice too (although
it's really basic - I think those opening chords are really great).
I dunno - all those songs definitely capture a mood and make me feel, but
nothing has succeeded in really making me crazy. I suppose another thing
to consider is that the listening experience with respect to emotion is
very circumstantial - it's not only the music that affects the way the
listener feels while listening - I often find that I attach particular
feelings and/or memories to certain songs which make listening to them
that much more powerful. I suppose that a good song will naturally act
as a medium for the transfer of feelings/memories back and forth from
the listener. I suppose a good song will also act as a medium for the
transfer and communication of feelings from the artist to the listener
as well. I don't really have many ideas on how the two modes of communi-
cation interact while listening (the listener's own emotional attachments
vs. the artist's communication) but the results are potentially beautiful.
