    Oh that's right it later became the soundtrack to a movie. I remember Mike being dead set against it, not wanting his music associated with so dark a subject, but when told how much money he'd make, he relented.

    Another good night album for me is King Crimson - The Power To Believe

    Just about any title by Klaus Schulze. I remember reading somewhere that Klaus prefers to record at night, so the nocturnal setting is appropriate.

    I also prefer to listen to most of David Sylvian's music at night. If there ever was a perfect full moon night album, it has to be Gone to Earth.

    As for Oldfield's Tubular Bells, I always thought Mike's intention was for the piece to be pastoral and specifically evocative of the English countryside? If not Tubular Bells, then most certainly Hergest Ridge is.

    Sylvian is a good choice - up to Blemish anyway.
    Klaus with Lisa particularly good at night.
    One World by John Martyn is classic late-night listening.
    And maybe a bit of Nich Drake ......
