Dear Daycare Parent

Ambitious undertakings such as this one have been known to often either suffer from their own emulation or turn out to be a huge triumph and landmark for the artist. Fortunately, you can mark 'The Color Spectrum: The Complete Collection' as the latter, as they accomplish exactly what they were going for with this record, a powerfully emotional record that is colorful in tone and emotion. Throughout the various EP's, this collection encompasses so many different shades and styles that a listener would probably find a song for any mood. That is the real magic of this release. The Dear Hunter took on a really ambitious project this time and succeeded with flying colors.

Eric Bibb is back. The US blues musician and singer-songwriter is releasing his new album "Dear America" in 2021, the follow-up to his 2018 double album "Global Griot." The name suggests it: It's a musical love letter to his fractured homeland.

For his 4th opus “Intuitions” which will be published by L'Intemporel/L'autre Distribution on March 31st, guitarist Nicolas Parent renews the rich experience of the duo with Yom (clarinet), Pierre Durand (guitar) and Kentaro Suzuki (double bass) his traveling companion for a decade.

Three CD set. Coming together at the end of the Sixties, Essex band Dear Mr. Time were a five-piece progressive rock outfit influenced by the likes of King Crimson and The Moody Blues. The independent Square label released the band's seven-ages-of-man concept album Grandfather in early 1971. With Vertigo's interest in signing Dear Mr. Time scuppered by the fact that Square had signed them to an exclusive three-year deal, the band decided to split before a second album could be recorded. By the early Nineties, original copies of Grandfather were selling for large sums of money, and the album was counterfeited several times before finally being legally reissued in 2010. Buoyed by the reception that the official reissue received, the core members of Dear Mr. Time reconvened, recording two further albums - Brontosaurs And Bling and Time - as well as recording tracks for a proposed fourth album. This anthology of the band's work assembles all three Dear Mr. Time albums and adds that proposed fourth album. We also add some fascinating early Seventies home demos from guitarist and chief songwriter Chris Baker, performing a batch of songs that would have formed the basis of that aborted follow-up to Grandfather. With a booklet that illustrates the band's story with rare photos and new quotes, our expanded release of Grandfather is the final word on a progressive rock band who, although they made a limited impression at the time, have now attracted collector interest for more than three decades.
