"I wish BT could pull off something like this again. I'll keep this review short. It is a quality cd, good for rainy days especially.
**Oops... This is supposed to be a 5 star rating.**"

"YESSS this is a classic , i have been caching up with some CDs i think are great so this means that some of the music that i am reviewing is "old", said this , let me tell you that this album haven't got old at all .
Yes there are some new albums that sound more avant gard but first than nothing this is not a DJ album , BT made and played all the music by himself so this means that the DJs play his music in their sets and if you listen to one of the many "modern" sets that a lot of DJs are playing right now you will not notice BIG difference between IMA and what is going on now .
In my humble opinion this guy is the father of what we call now progressive eather house or trance , so if you have an open mind to listen this album without thinking that it is going to sound old go for it!!!!!! this is a master piece .
My only negative coment is that his latest works haven not been as good as the old ones."
Great Trance from mid-90s

"You will not regret this mix if you are looking for some great lounge or chill music. There's no big beat and nothing fancy for club play but its a personal favorite of mine and I've owned the CD since '96. This disc will get your friends to understand Trance because the artists in the genre are not about a big beat, booty shaking, or other shallow descriptors of club/house music. This music shows an inner complexity to its owners because it requires to be background music in a social setting.
True story, my wife and I went to the caribbean islands in the West Indies for the beaches. I had my ipod and a small set of splash resistant speakers and played music just as a soundtrack when we were on the beach. I remember I was playing Sasha's Voyage of IMA on the beach at Antigua and the bartender asked what it was and played it over the speaker system, EVERYBODY (no exaggeration) enjoyed the ambiance of the entire 2 disc set.
If you have picky Electronic music friends, they may not dig it at first but I'm that way too, give them time."
