Daughter of Time is the fourth album by English jazz rock band Colosseum, released in 1970. The album remained for five weeks in the UK Albums Chart peaking number 23.[1] Recorded in the midst of an upheaval in the band's lineup, only one of its eight tracks, "Three Score and Ten, Amen", features all six of the official band members.

Background

[edit]

The song "Downhill and Shadows" was named by co-writer Jon Hiseman from a quote by actor Robert Mitchum.[2]

Reception

Professional ratings
Review scores
SourceRating
Allmusic[3]

Mike DeGagne gave the album a rave retrospective review in Allmusic, chiefly praising the wide variety of instruments used, but also acknowledging the melancholy tones and sense of drama. His only criticism was that the songs are too short, "all around six minutes in length" (in fact, only three of the songs are around six minutes in length, with one of them being eight minutes plus while half of them are much shorter).[3]
