The fans, the media, everybody had welcomed Anette Olzon as the new  singer of NIGHTWISH – and most of them also had to admit, that this sensational    album is easily among the best stuff, the band has EVER done. 
 
NIGHTWISH also  won the German music award ECHO as best “alternative/rock    act international” at the ECHO Awards in February 2008! Another proof    for the importance of the band within the international music scene! 
 
'The Islander' is the “ballad” of the album that gets    frenetic reactions on their current (mostly sold out) tour and will be released    as CD-Single incl. a DVD. The CD contains rare instrumental/orchestral versions    of “Escapist” and “Meadows Of Heaven”! 
 
The DVD features    the video of the main song in two different versions as well as the making    of “The Islander”. The band states that the clip    (directed by Stobe Harju) is the best and most atmospheric one they’ve    ever done so far. 
 
Seriously a must-have for every NIGHTWISH maniac!
