My favourite somnambulistic(?!) listening for the last 10 years has 
been Talk Talk's Spirit of Eden.
This is a uniquely beautiful album - so much space around the 
sounds, it drips with atmosphere. OK so it's not electronic and OK 
it's old, but hell... it does it for me.

(for the more maturer listener I'd also recommend it for mood 
music, again... it does it for me.)

As a great lover of ambient sounds I can't help but also recommend 
selected tracks from This Mortal Coil, David Sylvian, Harold Budd, 
Brian Eno. Simon Jeffries work with Penguin Cafe Orchestra is also 
pretty good - the repetitious phrasing is very soothing.

Nick (an old insomniac)
