It's extremely hard to think of any band that completely pivots lineups and stylistic approaches, and then turns out well - unless of course you're Fleetwood Mac. Formed in the U.K. as a hard-edged British blues combo in the late '60s, the troupe eventually gradually morphed into a polished pop/rock act over the course of a decade, and in the process, became one of the most influential bands of the '70s. Throughout all their incarnations, the only consistent members of Fleetwood Mac were drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie; the rhythm section that provided the band with its name. Ironically, they had the least influence over the musical direction of the group. Originally, guitarists Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer provided the band with its gutsy, neo-psychedelic blues-rock sound, but after their departures, the group began moving toward pop/rock, first with the songwriting of pianist Christine McVie, and then with the addition of singer Stevie Nicks and guitar marvel Lindsey Buckingham. In The Many Faces of Fleetwood Mac, we will go down the rabbit hole to explore the lesser known side of the band and also to review the work of most of its 18 past and current members . To complete our journey, we will enjoy the band live during one of their most popular concerts of their half-a-century career. We open CD1 with one of the most successful hit singles of the "early incarnation" of Fleetwood Mac. Man of the world, written by Peter Green, was originally release in April of 1960 and peaked at #2 in the UK chart. Green re-recorded it in 1999 with his Peter Green Splinter Group for their 1999 release, Destiny Road. It's undeniable that the "classic" line-up of Fleetwood-McVie-McVie-Buckingham-Nicks has been the one that has provided the band with its biggest hits. For that reason, the final part of CD2 of our collection is dedicated to five of the band most well-known songs re-invented by Karen Souza, Jazzystics and Anakelly among others. The CD 3 of our project features the band during a live presentation in California in 1997 that features most of their greatest hits including Dreams, Go Your Own Way, Everywhere, The Chain, Big Love and Gypsy Also, it features the live debut of the song Temporary One and Silver Springs for the first time in concert since 1977.

Say You Will is the 17th studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 15 April 2003. It followed 1995's Time and was their first album without vocalist/keyboardist Christine McVie, who had left the band in 1998 (although she made some brief appearances on it). Lindsey Buckingham took over primary keyboard duties for the album and Stevie Nicks added some limited additional keyboard parts.
The album would also be the band's final album with Buckingham, who was told to leave Fleetwood Mac in 2018, although he would participate in their online-only release, 2013's Extended Play.

Rumours is the eleventh studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 4 February 1977 by Warner Bros. Records. Largely recorded in California in 1976, it was produced by the band with Ken Caillat and Richard Dashut. The band wanted to expand on the commercial success of their self-titled 1975 album. The group recorded the album in the aftermath of relationship breakups among its members and heavy drug use, both of which shaped the album's lyrics.

Fleetwood Mac, also known as Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, is the debut studio album by British blues rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 24 February 1968. The album is a mixture of blues covers and originals penned by guitarists Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer, who also share the vocal duties. It is the only album by the band without any involvement of keyboardist/vocalist Christine McVie.
The release of the album brought the band overnight success; in the UK, the album reached No. 4 and stayed on the charts 37 weeks, despite the lack of a hit single. The album barely made the charts in the US, reaching No. 198. Even though the album has sold over a million copies in the UK, it has never received a certification there. As of June 2015, the album has sold over 150,000 copies in the US.

Penguin is the seventh studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released in March 1973. It was the first Fleetwood Mac album after the departure of Danny Kirwan, the first to feature Bob Weston and the only one to feature Dave Walker.
The penguin is the band mascot favoured by John McVie. His fascination with the birds originated when he lived near London Zoo during the early days of his marriage to Christine McVie. He was a member of the Zoological Society and would spend hours at the zoo studying and watching the penguins.

Penguin — сьомий студійний альбом британсько-американського гурту «Fleetwood Mac», представлений у березні 1973 року під лейблом «Reprise Records». Це перший альбом гурту після того, як колектив залишив Дені Кірван; перший альбом, у записі якого взяв участь Боб Вестон та єдиний альбом, над яким працював Дейв Вокер.

Они так никогда и не получили такого признания, как прочие коллеги по цеху, Metallica, Megadeth или тот же Anthrax, из которого ушёл в своё время Дэн Лилкер в поисках более тяжёлого звучания. Хотя были популярны в своё время, смешав хардкор с трэшем, задолго до того, как это стало модно. А "Handle With Care" – одно из их высочайших достижений. Несколько странно это звучит, когда банда, называющая себя Ядерным Ударом, поёт о том, что так безоглядно нарушать экологию планеты, но альбому уже как лет пятнадцать, а он всё ещё по-боевому звучит, да и тема актуальна, как никогда

При всей своей плодовитости и достаточной популярности группа дала всего одно довольно короткое интервью, в котором, в числе прочего, объяснила, почему продаёт свои релизы очень дёшево (1 доллар США за релиз). По их словам, коллектив пытается передать определённые ощущения и идею, и для них то, что их музыку услышит больше людей, куда важнее каких-либо материальных доходов.

Однако истина оказывается даже не посредине, а находится в совсем иной плоскости т.к. группа играет самый настоящий промозглый, ледяной, депрессивно- суицидальный black metal с безотрадной, траурной и человеконенавистнической атмосферой. При этом сборник состоит не из "песен", а включает шесть длящихся около 10 минут каждая, медитативных композиций, пять из которых полностью инструментальные. Невзирая на предельную минималистичность ( не исключено, что в сборник вошли репетиционные записи), музыка обладает некой притягательностью и неотвратимо погружает слушателя в состояние горя, депрессии и одиночества.
