MySpace a place for friends

Taster's Choice project was born in Livorno (Italy) at the end of 1999 as a collaboration of four friends (Marco Bassini aka 'Ghiando', Pietro Marsili aka 'Peter', Mattia Biagini aka 'Jasone' and Alberto Pieri). After a first promo of five songs, the Band's lineup changed.In 2000 the band has began a process of maturation and has been supplemented with a new guitarist, Simone Fiori, with a percussionist (Francesco Tonarini aka Togno) a Dj (Filippo Gherardi aka Homer) and another Singer (Daniele Nelli aka 'Mister')... During 2003, after the Dj left, Fabrizio Pagni (aka 'Izio') joined the band. As sampler he was using Korg Studio Triton Professional to make electronics effects, Synths and Loops. The entire Band's crew was born between years 1980/1985. By the time, the Band has changed from Crossover style to Tribal MetalCore (as the Band define his own style), a result of emphasized Grooves created by a mix of drums - percussion; a five strings bass heightening the rhythm, a guitar making very accurate riffs, and a Sampler characterizing ambient pieces (as Bass Waves). In addition, Taster's Choice Lead Voices (Mc Ghiando and Mc Mister) use their voices in every possible way, form High Medium and Low Screams to Hip Hop, passing through melodic songs. Before 'Shining', their Debut Album composed of 11 tracks, the Band recorded 4 Promos Cd. 'Shining' has been recorded within West Link Recording Studios (Italy), mixed with Fabio de Pretis @ Blue Noise Studio (Italy) while Final Editing and Mastering process were managed by Mauro Andreolli @ Das Ende Der Dinge Studios (Negrita, Extrema, Folder, Addiction Crew).
