Island of Circles is a tribute album to singer-songwriter Donovan that was released on June 26, 1992, by Nettwerk.[1] The title song "Island of Circles" is provided by Donovan himself. Along with Donovan's contemporaneous box set collection Troubadour: The Definitive Collection 1964–1976, 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.[2]
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 Spirituality 1983–2008: The Consummate Compendium.
A slightly remixed version of No-Man's cover version of "Turquoise" later became the basis for an original song by the group called "Ocean Song," which was released later that same year as a single by the One Little Indian Records label.[3]
The song "Island of Circles" was recorded again for the 2004 Donovan album Brother Sun, Sister Moon.
