"Daughter of Time" is the fourth album by Colosseum, a British progressive jazz-rock band formed in 1968. The album was released in 1970 and has often been considered the group's best work. It is a unique blend of progressive rock, jazz, and blues. Colosseum's driving rhythm section is perfectly coupled with their sophisticated melodies and harmonies, producing an arresting sound that was ahead of its time.
"Daughter of Time" features nine tracks, including songs like "Three Score and Ten, Amen" and "Time Lament." The album artwork, which is as iconic as the music itself, has an image of the Earth's destruction, illustrating the album's principal theme of the transient nature of human life.
Notably, "Daughter of Time" includes contributions from several new band members, including singer Chris Farlowe and guitarist Dave "Clem" Clempson, who replaced the original guitarist James Litherland. Their involvement added a certain freshness and new direction to the band's sound. Despite being well-regarded by fans and critics alike, the album marked the end of the original line-up, as the band broke up shortly after its release. Colosseum would later reunite in 1994, continuing their musical journey and keeping the progressive rock spirit alive.
