Some of my charries are time travellers. As such, I need songs for them. Unfortunately the best I've got is Clocks by Coldplay (just about any Coldplay, really...), Song for Bassanio, and Ezio's Family.
Some songs/albums that are specifically about time travel is Time Cop by .357 Lover and the album Broken Bride by Ludo.
Another possibility is Time in a Bottle by Jim Croce (at least it feels like it could work for time travel to me). In the Year 2525 by Zager and Evans, and the Time Warp from Rocky Horror Picture Show.
If you are not looking for songs "about" time / time travel, putting together a mix of things like Phillip Glass, Benny Goodman, Strauss waltz, Benedictine Monks, african tribal drumming, Elivs, etc. will certainly give a feeling of bouncing through time.
I'm trying to remember some songs from the Back To The Future movies. Didn't Huey Lewis and the News do one called "Back in Time?" And I'm thinking there was a ZZ Top number from the third movie.
A few songs that place me in another place and another time: Manos Hadjidakis - The Acrobat's Prayer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPkKW807UHs "Reconstruction" of ancient Greek music.... - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEU7m8HGWzk And a Galician folk song performed by a Czech girls band :P - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukt6O11Cm7o
Songs with a future/historic feel

Just about anything works, but I despise pop.
Especially if it's like the songs above. :)

Janelle Monaáe's album The ArchAndroid will rock your world.
Re: Songs with a future/historic feel
The Future Holds A Lion's Heart by Darren Hayes. Also, totally seconding Janelle Monaé!
