5 out of 5 stars UN MARK SEYMOUR A PLENITUD.......2005-11-02

Aún no logro entender por que Mark Seymour no es muy conocido fuera de Australia si posee varias cualidades envidiables en cualquier artista, una gran voz (injustamente comparada con Bono de U2) y extraordinario compositor. En particular, tengo todos los CD'S de Hunters & Colletors, así como del propio Mark Seymour. El mejor cd de Hunters & Collectors es sin duda alguna "THE JAWS OF LIFE" y no solo de ellos, sino uno de los mejores discos a nivel alternativo de todos los tiempos. Su mejor canción en mi opinión es "Hear no evil".

Volviendo a este CD, "Daytime & The Dark" nos muestra un Mark Seymour MADURO, en este CD no hay piezas de desperdicio, si pudiera, le daría 6 estrellas si hubiera incluido tracks como "Hear no evil" (no hay versión en vivo de esta canción") "Betrayer", "Under The Sun" "You Don't Have To Cry Anymore" "Breackned Road" tracks que si en un futuro, Mark Seymour lanza otro Cd acustico, me encantaria que incluyera.

Estoy seguro, que cualquier persona, que no sea fan de Mark Seymour, apreciará este CD. Vale la pena y olvidense de "artistas" de hoy en día que lanzan un CD "exitoso" y jamás volvemos a saber de ellos.

5 out of 5 stars A High Point in a Career of Great Work .......2005-06-03

As a longtime fan of Hunters & Collectors and subsequent solo work of former front man Mark Seymour I would have told you that I needed another acoustic set like a I needed a hole in the head. How many versions of "Throw Your Arms Around Me" does one person need? In this case, it turns out I needed at least one more.

Top to bottom this record really shines. Rather than being sanitized by the studio atmosphere Seymour's vocals are lively and passionate. The Hunna's popular material (Throw Your Arms..., The Slab, Holy Grail) are all different enough to satisfy the more frugal fan who may have several live, studio and acoutic versions already. The newer or less frequently tapped tracks (Good Old Boys Stuff, Radio Death Song, the overlooked gem You Stole My Thunder) are so good that they measure up to the power and familiarity of the standard "greatest hits."

The thrust of the Liberation Blue Acoustic Series is to celebrate some of Australia's greatest music. In the case of Daytime & the Dark they really nailed the dismount. For the sake of history the record provides a nice snapshot of both H&C's music and of Seymour's abilities. To a more passive fan of acoustic pop or folk music it will not only provide an enjoyable listen but will tickle your fancy for more.

Every now and then you listen to a new record and you just know it's among those small few you will never tire of and always want at your fingertips. As a Hunters & Collectors / Mark Seymour fan who is obsessive about my music collection I am pleasantly startled to find that this album has had that effect.
