I kinda liked Jean Michel Jarre, Oxygene (sp?), but I have found that
the best music for coding is ambient techno - the Orb, which I guess
if Jarre had emerged in the last coupla years would have been classed
as. I have also found chub classics (fantazia) quite good (at work, we
have a open plan office!) , and  for a while experimented with the
soundtrack from descent 2!
I did consider white noise and the red tinted glasses at one point,
but decided that this would  be going too far, "step away from the edge"
a voice was heard to say ;)
As for times, whenever I can, usually sundays, any evening when
I'm not too knackered from work between 8pm and 2pm depending
on how engrossed I get.
