Not really my favourites, but the ones I could think of immediately (which weren't mentioned in previous posts):

Back Door - Back Door (if not for anything else, then for Colin Hodgkinson's bass playing)
John Zorn - Book of Angels (this should keep you occupied, since it consists of 17 volumes)
Miles Davis - In a Silent Way

Love all of these

If you want more Oldfield definitely get Ommadawn & Hergrest Ridge - those are his best  IMHO.
