What's your favourite 'spiritual' (in the broadest possible sense) music?

I'm not religious but am interested in discovering music with a spiritual dimension of any sort - from any religion or none. What does it for you?

Can you recommend a good Low track, iwas/RR?

Some really different suggestions coming up now - thanks so much. Will post again when I've had a chance to listen more.

Some of my (many) favourites include [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVTZc-bnDiw Laser Beam], Hold Me Closer Than That, Silver Rider, Murderer...loads of others.

RaggedRobin, 'Just Like Christmas' is actually my favourite Christmas song ever! DP and I play it every Christmas morning and dance around being silly

I'm fascinated as to what people find spiritual, especially the less obvious ones. Can't find anything spiritual at all in the Low tracks - it's so personal isn't it. Am enjoying listening to everyone's choices so much though - will post again when I've had a chance to hear some more.

Here's one of my current favourites: Victoria De Los Ángeles - Baïlèro from Canteloube's Chants d'Auvergne

I like Nox Arumque, gerontius

Spem in Alium by Tallis absolutely blows me away. I heard it being performed in St Albans Cathedral a few years back and it was glorious.

I've also always been partial to Handel's Dixit Dominus.

Plain chant. Allegri's Misere.

Much much more that isn't spiritual in a real sense but seems so to me. Vaughan WIlliams Variations on Thomas Tallis.

I love Deva Premal and Miten, I listen if I need some calm and a clear mind.www.devapremalmiten.com/music_home.htm Website
Om Mani Padme Hum, one of my faves

I'm a Pagan and I love the music of Carolyn Hillyer, she's so in touch with the seasons and Earth herself.
