There's something, to my mind, quite profound about climbing inside someone's electronically sealed bubble and hearing something for the first time as they themself wished to experience it.
I first heard 'Platform on the ocean' by Arthur Russell when driving back from an all-nighter in Manchester in this way and it moved me enough to, first buy the album, then the rest of his recorded work and it still moves me profoundly each time I hear it although I find it impossible to remove myself from the emotional frisson of that first hearing.
Chill out by The Orb doesn't count in this thread right...

[Oh, and that's London ONTARIO, obv., not to be mistaken for its better-known namesake. Except by Archie Bunker, who did just that on an ancient "All In The Family" episode.]

This also reminds me of a particularly evil friend who made up a mix tape which included five seconds of some rock song I'm sure I know really, really well. But then he wouldn't tell me what song it was. Six years later THIS STILL BOTHERS ME. Don't do this to your friends.

That pretty much changed everything for me as a lad in junior high in the late '80s when being driven home by a friend's oldest brother.
