EXTD=2005 Wounded Bird Records\n\nOriginally Released 1978\nCD Edition
EXTD= Released January 18, 2005\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: Fotomaker had a 
EXTD=pretty impressive pedigree. Guitarist/vocalist Wally Bryson came 
EXTD=from power pop gods the Raspberries, and bassist Gene Cornish and
EXTD= drummer Dino Danelli were founding members of the Rascals. The o
EXTD=ther two bandmembers, guitarist/vocalist Lex Marchesi and keyboar
EXTD=dist/vocalist Frankie Vinci, were no slouches either, as the two 
EXTD=of them were responsible for most of the songwriting and singing 
EXTD=on the band's fine 1978 debut. The record is very much in the pow
EXTD=er pop vein with walls of guitars, Beatlesque vocal harmonies, an
EXTD=d big hooks. Unsurprisingly, they sound very much like the Raspbe
EXTD=rries, lacking that band's grandeur but replacing it with an easy
EXTD=going charm. Their classic song, "Where Have You Been All My Life
EXTD=," is easily a match for the Raspberries' best. It is the kind of
EXTD= song that guitars were invented for, and will be going around yo
EXTD=ur head for hours after you hear it. The rest of the album can't 
EXTD=match it but there are some fine songs, like "Can I Please Have S
EXTD=ome More," the very Todd Rundgren-sounding "Two Can Make It Work,
EXTD=" the power ballad "All These Years," and "Pain." There is a subt
EXTD=le soft rock undercurrent to many of the tunes that may put off r
EXTD=ockers who prefer a harder edge, but it actually gives the record
EXTD= some texture. Fotomaker may not be the lost classic that one mig
EXTD=ht hope for, but it is a fine pop record with a fair amount of po
EXTD=wer and some very fine songs. -- Tim Sendra\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOME
EXTD=R REVIEW\nThis is NOT Power Pop, January 2, 2006\nReviewer: M. Hu
EXTD=mmel "mh1957" (College Park, MD USA)\nI bought this when I read e
EXTD=lsewhere that it was true Power Pop, and was excited that this ba
EXTD=nd had elements of both the Rascals and the Raspberries in its pe
EXTD=rsonnel. But this sounds nothing like either--and it certainly is
EXTD=n't power pop. Cornish and Danelli, both of the Rascals, and Brys
EXTD=on, of the Raspberries, were not the primary singers or songwrite
EXTD=rs of their original bands, so assuming a new band with them in i
EXTD=t would sound anything like their old bands is a big mistake. Thi
EXTD=s music is tepid, very emblematic of the late seventies. Frankly,
EXTD= what I felt like I was hearing was a so-so imitation of The Litt
EXTD=le River Band, and that's not power pop, not even remotely. It's 
EXTD="pop" for certain, but very little power. It doesn't ROCK. Stick 
EXTD=to the best of the best, the Beatles, of course, and those four R
EXTD=aspberries albums. Accept no substitutes!\n\nHalf.com Album Notes
