Staubgold - Music Out Of Place (2002)

"Music Out Of Place" is the motto of the Staubgold label, and it couldn't have picked a better one. The Berlin-based imprint has no particular style, certainly nothing like a "sound", and its artists share no particular methodology. "Staubgold" means "dust gold", and I don't think it's a stretch to find something alchemical in the name. The label finds ways to take ideas and musical elements that might normally be considered "wrong", or just plain wrongheaded — whether the rubbed-balloon squawks and patch-cord crackle of Rafael Toral's "Space", or the very concept of Children's Music — and make them worthy and musical. Other artists not included here are (among others): Autistic Daughters, Embryo, Kammerflimmer Kollektief, Leafcutter John and No-Neck Blues Band.
