I find a lot of the Thinking Plague type sound to be like that.

If you're looking for a dilapidated carnival vibe, "After All" by David Bowie should do the trick. 
He looks at this world and wants it all... so he strikes, like Thunderball!

Quite a lot in my estimation. Wink

What we associate with circus music all stems from this one piece of music:


But played by a small and somewhat not very good troupe of travelling musicians that were essentially a small marching band (drums and brass). The music is usually a march (2/4 time) but can also be a waltz (3/4 time) depending on what act the music is accompanying.

Carnival music is often regarded the same being the same as Circus music as the music played is usually waltzes or marched but here the music is often played by a steam organ (calliope or calliaphone) and looks like this:

Vaudeville, Music Hall and cabaret music is nothing like either of those, however Dark Cabaret (e.g., Amanda Palmer/Dresden Dolls, Emilie Autumn, Gabby Young and Other Animals etc) does sometimes incorporate circus-like music.
What?

Hoelderlin – Circus (fr. “Clowns and Clouds”)

There’s also the calliope-sounding tune at the end of Neon Magic by Camel, which is actually a quote from Rhayader.

Circus Tragedy

from Walking Like Rudy by Tony Castellano


http://tonycastellano.bandcamp.com/track/circus-tragedy



Released at May 8, 2002

"Not really titled after any particular event. The first part sounds like a circus with everybody happy and then some unspecified terrible thing occurs, as suggested by the ominous-sounding end section. However, I think the final chord conveys an air of hopefulness." Tony Castellano

Very nice thread indeed and i'd like to contribute with "Mouse And Cheese" by Massachusetts' Krunkelstiltskin - i suggested them for PA two days ago. Krunkelstiltskin is a young prog band with unique sound made by the interesting line-up - two keyboards players / lead singers, the bass guitarist and the drummer! The song is from their debut album "Into The Aurafice".
