Islands is the 11th album by Mike Oldfield, released in 1987. Guest singers on the album are Bonnie Tyler, Kevin Ayers, Anita Hegerland and Jim Price. A different track list and cover was used for the American edition. The album tracks "The Winds Chimes Parts One & Two" together as one track, therefore the total timing is 21:49. Also, the orginal vinyl didn't feature "When The Night's On Fire", track that was only added to the CD version of the album. All tracks composed by Mike Oldfield.

Islands was also released as a full-length VHS video album. For each track a video was made and released, often mixing state of the art (for the time) computer generated images with real life images. This was released as part of The Wind Chimes.

The album boasts the largest number of co-producers out of all of Oldfield's work; production was handled by Michael Cretu (of Enigma fame), Geoffrey Downes, Tom Newman, Simon Phillips, Alan Shacklock and Oldfield himself. Guest singers on the album are Bonnie Tyler, Kevin Ayers, Anita Hegerland and Jim Price.

The UK front cover artwork was of a tropical island, and hidden in the surrounding sea is a large number of hand shapes. The American cover however is different; it displays two cube shapes. The photography on the back of the US version was by Jerry Uelsmann.
