My (partial) Frisson Playlist; more may follow...

"Love, Space, Time" by Dayton, Ohio's extremely intermittent (and now defunct) The American Static; my frisson points occur upon each use of the word "photograph" and the following tense string flourish, and at the final "take me where we long to be, now!" at 3:28-3:32.

Theme from the classic anime Space Pirate Captain Harlock; frisson points fall at the line "ore no uta" from :39-:41, the bridge from 1:12-1:28, and the orchestral echo of the vocal melody--as if signalling a narrative "Aye-aye, Captain!" to Harlock!--at 2:20-2:27.

Theme/leitmotif from the old-school Kung Fu film Five Shaolin Masters (5:05-6:02--at which point it's abruptly cut off by the villains' (equally iconic) growling bass piano leitmotif.); Unfortunately, the only clip I was able to find was (A) dubbed in German, (B) flopped and defaced for copyright reasons, and (C) sped up. Even more unfortunately, I've been unable to find the theme song a la carte for downloading; the melancholy majesty of the spaghetti-westernesque score is a lot of what makes the archetypal force of the movie.
