Taste Media

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Taste Media is a record label and production company that has featured the bands Muse and Shed Seven.

The company was formed by Safta Jaffery (ex Decca and Magnet Records A&R executive) and Dennis Smith, who owned the Sawmills recording studio in Cornwall, as an outlet for the new band Muse who had previously released a record on another label of his. They recorded 2 out of Muse's 4 albums; 'Showbiz' and 'Origin of Symmetry'.

Whilst the recordings by Muse were licensed to Mushroom Records in the United Kingdom, with the label credit being split between Taste Media and Mushroom, later acts were released independently including Shed Seven's 2003 live album and single.

The publishing side of Taste's repertoire was handled by sister company Taste Music who retain the publishing rights to Muse's first three albums and also handle the compositions of Buffseeds, One Minute Silence, and Sundae Club.
