When a track changes, key, tempo part way through
When one track goes straight into the next
When the music stops dead, silence, then starts again
An old and well loved track is redone - well of course
Bet we all have examples...

Any lead guitar break that has me reaching for my guitars, a box of matches, and a tin of lighter fluid.

Reason I gave up trying to play acoustic guitar
I had to sound like Hendrix and could not see that happening

When the music stops dead, silence, then starts again Spooky, I was just playing the live version of Leonard Cohen Hallelujah on Cohen Live when he does that. You can almost hear a pin drop in the momentary silence. Thrilling. |

I don’t see a ‘Subject’ on this phenomena, but things I HATE in otherwise well recorded music is when the studio dubs-in vinyl static including periodic clicks etc. I understand it is part of the ‘performance’ but to me this technique has run its course.  |

You can't beat a good crescendo when done well. Khatchaturian's Adagio of Spartacus and Phrygia is probably my favourite example - two minutes of delicately restrained gentility and then he lets loose an almighty crescendo with a scale of turbocharged cellos and double-basses. Demands to be played at volume for full FX.

You can't beat a good crescendo when done well. In 'Fears' from Shostakovich Symphony No. 13 there is an almighty crescendo involving something like a hammer blow which is sheer devastation - phenomenal and disturbing. Exactly the right effect for the subject matter. There is also the well known crescendo in the first movement of Mahler's Symphony No. 2 which reaches a staggering peak. Many more good examples. |

This was always irritating, the silly sods seem to think it's artistic or cool or something. |

Not sure I like it or not. Has its place for atmosphere sometimes, maybe.... |

When you feel the music pulsating in your body
When a song or music plays with your emotions
When a guitar solo makes your back tingle
When you are at a live concert the crowd and band feed off each other in the moment

As Mike says. .... The silences The really, seriously loud bits Beautiful melodies Discordant dissonances Extended overwhelming crescendos Ineffably serene diminuendos The purity of a solo vocal The unstoppable power of a mighty chorus And everything in between.  |
