It's Only a Matter of Taste, from 1979, by request




Only album from this band, Matter of Taste:

Matter Of Taste came from Gemmrigheim (on the river Neckar, north of Stuttgart), Germany. They were part of that proliferation of rock 'n' soul bands from the late 1970's, bordering on pop, with funky edges and (unusually) a very soulful black female lead singer.


The vocal fusion track Break it Up with its suspended chord intro just knocks it out of the ballpark for me:



We've encountered the beautiful instrumental track Berlin before with its very interesting tritonal chord progression, written by keyboardist Uli Buhl, because he was also a member of the Frederic Rabold Crew, a bunch of fine jazz musicians you might recall from back here:




I love how beautiful he has made the city sound on this piece of music.  Bravo.
