Not exactly prog, but Blood, Sweat, and Tears' Spinning Wheel sounds rather circus-sy towards its end.

the middle section of PF's Poles Apart; less cirkus & more carnival if you ask me, but whatever.

iamthemorning's 5/4 is great example of this I think.
Also, there's Sigur Rós Sé Lest, that has a brief wind section that sounds a little bit 'circusy', like a marching band playing circus music. Also, Diablo Swing Orchestra music can get a little circus-like from time to time, though right now I can't think of an exact song.

I was listening to Miriodor's Cobra Fakir the other day and heard a bit of "circus music" sound.

Definitely, especially in the opening song, "La roue" (The Wheel). Another recent album that often hints at circus music is MoeTar's Entropy of the Century. |

The beginning of Queen's "Brighton Rock", and of Steve Hackett's "The Voice of Necam".
And the end of the Who's "The Dirty Jobs".

Kayleurs mix is fantastic i checked most of those songs on youtube good stuff yo. I would like to point out that while early seventies Genesis didn't sound much like a circus, they look very theatrical and sometime circus like with Peter Gabriel in flower costume and such.

Good call with the Hackett reference. Within the Top 10 for this thread easily. |

Steve Hackett's The Wheel's Turning is a great tune.

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. |

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

On the last Bumblefoot album called Little Brother Is Watching, there's a song called Cuterebra with a circus-music spirit
