I'd also add Robbie Basho's North American Raga. My suspicion is that his recording engineer recorded him in a large space with a close mic and numerous room mics to capture the reverb and rich harmonic overtones of the 12-string. The room mics gradually take over the sonic spectrum as the song peaks in intensity. It creates this ghostly, huge sound, coupled with Basho's creepy falsetto, also distantly mic'ed. I have a hard time listening to it without getting nervous and sad...in the best way.
