One of the most beautiful albums ever!

If you are looking for a old school trance album and to hear some of the roots of trance them you really need to listen to this album.

All you need to know that first Oakenfold and then Paul Van Dyk came to BT and used his music in their hit DJ mix albums. Look at these guy's early stuff and all you see is BY. In my mind this guy is one of the masterminds behind what we currently know as Trance music. Unbelievable. I remember driving through downtown Toronto on the way to a night of clubbing and getting so stoked by this music. God bless BT.

This is my favorite album to listen to while I'm writing. It's got driving bass lines combined with uplifting melodies. I'd recommend it highly to anyone looking for something more aggressive than classical music to listen to while you are writing a term paper or a legal brief!

TOO BAD ITUNES DOESN'T CARRY THE REMIX SINGLES TO "LOVING YOU MORE" OR "REMEMBER". THE GARDEN OF IMA DUB IS GREAT BUT THERE ARE MORE REMIXES FOR THAT SONG THAT ARE JUST AS WONERFUL....AND THE "REMEMBER" SINGLE HAS THE MOST AMAZING REMIXES!!!

If you decide to take the trip of Ima, you will not be dissapointed. You must be warned though, this album is very long, and people looking to get into electronic, I would not recommend this album.

For die hard-fans of any genre of electronic, this is a trip well worth taking.

The album in itself is one continuious strand of music, but the sound you hear diversifys with every track that passes. The songs are based on adding layer after layer of new material on top of one another. An excellent example of this "Sasha's Voyage Of Ima", where the 48 minute track utalizes nothing but electronic based noises, and layer after layer piled on top of each other. The sounds fade away seemlessly, leaving you enjoying the sounds that you are hearing, while not noticing the fade out.

The sounds used in said songs however, are amazing. If you take a look at "Divinity", it is based around a atmospheric almost haunting piano loop, and when the song picks up speed, you are amazed by the beats, and how seamlessly, they blend into the environment of the music.

If you are looking for electronic music with the sound of vocals behind it, look elsewhere. However, the one track that contains the use of vocals is "Blue Skies", and Tori Amos has a great voice, and once again, her voice blends in with the music perfectly.

The album is based under progressive trance, meaning you won't hear songs that are 2-4 minutes long that throw everything all in your face at once. The candle of Ima is slowly burning one, but does not take long to appreciate, if you don't quickly dismiss it.
