It did top the charts for many weeks and sell reasonably well. But, creatively, it isn't given enough credit. Mirage was a very romantic album, and that's what made it great, in my view, and somewhat different from every other post-75 Mac album. The songs were rich in harmonies, hooks, and sentiment, all in the right doses. The album occasionally rocks, but quietly, sticking mainly to the concept of how love is elusive and fleeting, like a mirage.

Daniel... I think that's the single best description of 'Mirage' that I've ever heard. Cheers!

I´ll highjack a thread here.
I noticed a mention of a 3-cd+dvd version of Rumours being released (in the first half of 2008) Anymore details,anyone? |

The only good thing I can say about it is that it would probably coincide with a tour or something else new (hopefully) to promote. Now I am still waiting for "making of Tusk commentary" like what we got with Rumours. And also Mick has all of that Tusk tour footage that I only have in snowy quality. So, I would love some more Tusk releases. But the world is just about rumoured out. Michele |

Yes, there are reissues with the original Tusk and Rumours recordings remastered. Plus they added demos and outtakes. Michele

What I'd love to see is more about the Mirage and Tango productions. Sessions at the french castle, interviews abot how they rejoined for Tango, after their solo works, etc.. It would be interesting. |

With CDs going on the downward slide toward obsolesence (thank you iPod & iTunes), I think the back catalogue remaster project has been shelved. There hasn't been any news on it since the release of the original three reissues, so I would think that somebody must've pulled the plug.
I guess they could remaster & reissue the albums via iTunes, but I don't foresee that happening anytime soon. So, I guess we're stuck with the Mirage album that is out. Oh, God, please not ANOTHER reissue of Rumours...that horse died years ago and the insects have already stripped everything that contained DNA off the carcass.
