Excellent titles so far!

The Beatles - Mr. Moonlight; Blue Jay Way
Danzig - Blood and Tears; Sistinas; How The Gods Kill
Al Stewart - Roads to Moscow
also...
Yes! That & No Quarter.
Kansas - Incomudro (Hymn to the Atman)
Crazy, I've always thought you can't get any more 'beautiful morning' music than those. I don't think I've ever listened to them at night.
For me,
Paddy McAloon - I Trawl The Megahertz
Captain Beyond - Sufficiently Breathless
Thinking Plague - Decline and Fall
Genesis - And Then There Were Three
Anthony Phillips - Soiree
All sound fitting at night to me.
Lamplight Symphony from the same album would also qualify.

Allman Bros "Midnight Rider"

Mike Keneallys 'Wooden Smoke' album
Moody Blues - Nights in White Satin
"Normal is just the average of extremes" - Gary Lessor
John Abercrombie-Timeless(title track)
"please do not understand me too quickly"-andre gide
David Baerwald's "Secret Silken World" -- nice 7+ minute track:
I play late at night:
ambient (Eno and all his children)
Bill Evans
ECM jazz like Metheny or Ralph Towner
Robert Rich
slow burn rock like No Quarter
Jon Hassell - Last Night the Moon Came Dropping Its Clothes in the Street
I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down.'- Bob Newhart
Lustmord - Heresy
Works for me!
Actually I wear earbuds to sleep and have my iPod on shuffle. Those that know my taste are aware that that means 70% of the songs are not for the faint of heart. It helps me sleep, really.
Duncan's going to make a Horns Emoticon!!!
Frank Sinatra- In The Wee Small Hours, Only The Lonely, some of the earlier Columbia ballads
Miles Davis- Kind Of Blue
Keith Jarrett- Koln Concert
Bill Evans- Waltz For Debby
I often used to play 'Days Of Future Passed' before falling asleep too, that album has a real atmosphere that works early morning as well...being about all times of day, of course!
Just about anything from David Gilmour's "On An Island" album.
I posted a thread about the nu-age band 2002, which I often put on at night....The responseless thread fell out of existence within hours after I posted it.
Nighttime/drifting-off-to-sleep is also where I do most of my Classical listening. Johann Strauss, Rachmaninoff, and Vivaldi are great night-time listens. Interesting enough, I prefer string quartets and smaller light orchestra combos as opposed to 108-piece full-blown orchestras at night.
Interesting. I never tried them in the morning. Maybe I'll give that a whirl. But I suppose because of its movie association, I'll always think of darkness when I hear Tubular Bells.
