Island of Circles


Island of Circles is a tribute album to singer-songwriter Donovan that was released on June 26, 1992 by Nettwerk. The title song "Island of Circles" is provided by Donovan himself. Along with Donovan's contemporaneous box set collection ', the album contributed to a resurgence of interest in Donovan's music in the early 1990s, after he had been deemed unfashionable and out of step with changing musical tastes in the 1970s.
Sarah McLachlan's version of "Wear Your Love Like Heaven" was also included as a bonus track on some, but not all, editions of her 1991 album Solace; Spirit of the West's rendition of "Sunshine Superman" was reissued on their 2008 career retrospective '.
The song "Island of Circles" was recorded again for the 2004 Donovan album Brother Sun, Sister Moon.
