 I have to say my best experience with SAWII was driving up 130
 (up Mt. Hamilton in San Jose, CA) at night into what turned out to
 be a huge storm. One of the most eerie, enchanting experiences of
 my life. And it was the perfect soundtrack. And every time I hear
 it I remember that.

 I think a _lot_ of how you think about certain emotional music has
 to do with how you first experience it. That doesn't mean the music
 doesn't have anything intrinsicly excellent - it just means that 
 certain experiences may bring it out more.
