Music recommendations please

[westernind]

Watched Corpse Bride last night. I love that sort of music - satanic voodoo jazz? - makes me want to dance and sing. Does it have a name? what can I listen to? (Apart from the Squirrel Nut Zippers who seem to fit the category rather well.)
Anyone got any recommendations?

And a slightly sideways thought - might be worth picking up the game Grim Fandango; not only one of the best adventure games ever written, but (from what I recall) has a selection of excellent slightly Mexican Dark Cabaret-style music...

You mean this soundtrack? :)

It is rather fine isn't it. Also entirely legal to download.

Oh brilliant - well found!

Oh splendid - can listen to the music without having to play the game (I don't go for the computer games that are on the market).

It hasn't been on the market for many, many years. :-)
