Ima (今 ima?, now) is the debut studio album by electronica artist BT. It was released in 1995. The album is considered a major stepping stone in trance music, popularizing a more progressive approach. A portion of "Nocturnal Transmission" is featured in the film The Fast and the Furious, for which BT also composed the score.
Ima was re-released in 1996 in a double disc format, featuring the single "Blue Skies", with vocals by Tori Amos, as well as its remix, "Blue Skies (The Delphinium Days Mix)". "Blue Skies" was previously featured in edited form on the soundtrack for the TV show Party of Five. This package also includes several singles released prior to the album, (several of which were originally mixed together in "Sasha's Voyage of Ima") as well as the b-sides to "Embracing the Sunshine" and "Nocturnal Transmission". Several of the tracks were edited to fit the format, and all songs segue into the next to create a non-stop mix.
