As a rule I don't normally buy digital music, but Nightwish and a couple of other bands are the exception.
So I was shocked find that Elan was nowhere to be found on iTunes and Google Australia.
Thus with modern times, I left a message on Roadrunner Australai's Facebook pages asking why it was missing?
Some 2 hours later I was able to purchase the Elan EP was a very reasonable $2.49.
Elan is a typical Nightwish pre album release single, not too heavy or bombastic, pretty safe straight ahead melodic rocker.
While I had my doubts about Floor singing old material, it only took the first line of this song to convince me of her being right for the band.
With her voice, presence and melody Nightwish finally sounds like they should have after Once.
The non album track Sagan is way better, offering a little more in the way of dynamics.
It also has an old Nightwish feels to it, Wishmaster era comes to mind.
