FUSICIAN - HALF OFF (Fustone Records 1981) Line up: Patti Giacalone (vocals), Doug Gillespie (guitars, backing vocals), Joe McGowan (bass), Graig Otte (keys, lead and backing vocals), Jim Sage (drums)

Diehard AOR collectors will immediately recognize the name of the keyboard player of this band. Craig Otte later joined AOR cult band Day One, they released one of the most sought after records in AOR History with One Look. Before that he made one of a mega rare one-sided four track EP with Fusician, a band with a female vocalist. Listening to this record, I am constantly reminded of Tandrum (especially vocally, but musically there are also some similarities). For me the best songs are 'Distant Star'with a guitar/keyboard duel and 'Future Fear', a very Styx-alike song. The only filler is the Rock and Roller 'Company Man' with a sax solo, which had to been left of this EP.
