"Gypsy" sounding music

[rachel s]

Does anyone know of any "Gypsy" sounding music? Like with alot of strings and stuff I guess. I like the sort of "forlorn" sound of it, kind of like the opening theme song to that TV show "Angel". I've been looking around at world music sections and found stuff like Gypsy Kings, but I've never heard them before and I don't want to buy something that's gonna suck. So, Gypsy-ish string (violins etc) music...anyone?

hey dude, check out Estradasphere they're not a gypsy band, but they do have some songs with a gypsy feel. You can download live stuff from this site http://www.archive.org/audio/etreelisting-browse.php?collection=etree&cat=Estradasphere
with several different formats available. I would reccomend checking out Mekapses Yitonisa, Some Turkish Song, and Hardball for the sound you're after. They also do some exceptional video game themes, like Super Mario and Zelda.

Try Dead Can Dance. They have a unique sound, but some of it fits along the line of what you are looking for.
