The producer José Alvarez-Brill is the same of ''Ravenheart''. The recordings took place with some interruptions used for further song writing and arranging from December 2004 to June 2005.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Xandria - India )〕 The album was released on August 22, 2005 and reached #30 in the German album charts. ==Concept== Christopher Columbus wanted to reach the goal of finding a new sea route to India. He never discovered it, but something just as important—America. Just like he sailed westwards filled with his goal, we are striving for our goals in life, maybe even for our one and only goal. And often we find, like Columbus, something completely different on our way, something that is new, that becomes important to us. ''India'' stands for this one goal, as a symbol for what we are looking for and maybe do not find at all—but something completely different instead.
