A concept album loosely based on man's fascination and allure for war throughout the ages, Daughter of Time contains all the elements required to create a pure progressive rock album.
Joining David Greenslade and Chris Farlowe is Louis Cennamo from Renaissance, who plucks away at the bass guitar with a heavy hand.
A multitude of instruments combine to create a brilliant melange of music on every one of the eight songs.
Vibrant spurts of trombone, trumpet, and flute are driven to the height of each song, which gives way to some implements of jazz fusion.
Rich organ and vibraphone can be heard in behind "Three Score and Ten Amen" and "Take Me Back to Doomsday" adding to the melancholy theme.
Countering this are beautiful string arrangements made up of violin, viola, and cello used effectively to conjure up mood, and doing an excellent job. Even a flügelhorn is blared from time to time on top of the accentuated drums. A spoken word passage from Dick Heckstall-Smith creates an eerie aura, as his voice echoes on about the coming of the apocalypse.
Colosseum's music works extremely well in that it builds suspense and reels the listener into the songs.
As far as the lyrics go, they're stark and foreboding and have a mediaeval taste to them, coinciding with the music perfectly.
Each song, all around six minutes in length, should have been longer to let the instruments play out with their illustriousness but it is good they left us wanting more
Side 1:
Three Score And Ten, Amen (5:36)
Time Lament (6:04)
Take Me Back To Doomsday (4:26)

Theme For An Imaginary Western (4:05)
Bring Out Your Dead (4:25)

LABELS: NEAR MINT
Just a couple of light spindle traces per side - clearly seen little use - still retains some vinyl residue around the Side Two spindle hole
VINYL Visual: EXCELLENT+
Unmarked under normal light the surfaces display nothing but harmless hairlines under bright light
VINYL Audio: MINT
Superb, barely played copy of this wonderful record - Colosseum at their heaviest, brassiest best and my play-check at volume found nothing at all to fault the strong, powerful sound - plays flawlessly throughout
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT
Apart from some storage rubbing to the edges/corners and a knock to the bottom spine corner the sleeve is in great shape
INNER SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
The original Vertigo swirl inner sleeve is clean and unmarked - no seam splits
