Interesting question.
I listen more to music that I know that to new music. It means that bliss comes when I am very familiar with that particular piece.
I rarely have bliss from other music than classical. I love jazz but I do not loose my self in it.
Probably is the unraveling of the voices, in elegant and complex ways, ever changing, always a new reference, something on which I can lean upon but that changes before I feel solidly planted. That surprises me with unexpected equilibrium. I find it easily and almost always in chamber music (Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, their quartets), or with piano. Strangely I do not trip with organ, while the same music adapted for piano makes me trip (Bach-Busoni stuff), the same with harpsichord. So the sound is essential, I should become more abstract. But I can trip also on simple apparently linear stuff like Sati.
The juice of it? who knows.
