I had never heard the word 'frisson' before, and I had no idea that some people didn't do it to music. Happens to me all the time. Interesting.

I don't know if it is an English word but it's part of the French language as "to have a chill" or I don't know the correct expression/word in English :)

In English it has a similar, but slightly different meaning.

Here's some more info on it
