I write this post for the benefit of Mr. Kite:

Disc 1 of the Flower Kings' Stardust We Are is loaded with circus music, including "Just This One," "Crying Clown," and the already mentioned "Circus Brimstone." And little snippets of circus music turn up in other parts of their discography.

Miriodor's "Jongleries Elastiques" album is built around circus/carnival music - it's great fun.

Farmers Market's fusion of Klezmer-type music with rock and jazz often takes on a circus-like tone.

From the absolutely classic music manifesto of the Tropicalismo movement (that could be in progarchives at the "Various Artists" modality, actually...)
- From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.

Not even close to circus music Tongue

I'd name Civic Circus by Univers Zero:

But it's a very dark kind of circus, something you'd expect in a horror movie Smile

The end of Lizard by King Crimson, The Big Top, is very Circus like. I heard a reviewer say it was probably to bring the listener back because the first song on the album is Cirkus

I'll let you know if I think of any more Smile

EDIT: Renaissance - Trip To The Fair (not quite circus)

Trip to the Fair was the first song that came to mind.  Its not circussy all the way through, but it nicely blends a circus-like theme into a larger work. 

Also thought of Circus of Heaven by Yes. Musically, this doesn't sound too like the circus, but the subject matter is.
