It's painful to say, but the rough guide to the Balkans is a really good one. Some of those rough guides are pretty tepid, but there's some amazing stuff on that one.
Also, as far as strictly Romani music goes, you really can't go wrong with
Taraf de Haidouks
Incidentally, I'm on a borrowed computer at the moment, but I'll have my own sorted in time, and I'll up some stuff of intrest then. I have some wonderful Aboriginal music that should really be listened to by other people.
