Imaginations from the Other Side is the fifth studio album by the German power metal band Blind Guardian, released in 1995.
The atmosphere of this album is darker in comparison to their earlier works, such as Battalions of Fear, which had a relatively light tone.
For these new songs, personal standards were raised for which parts should make the cut, and ideas that weren't satisfactory were therefore scrapped.
After visiting other studios throughout the summer, even ones in which albums of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones were recorded, the two felt that Rasmussen, who had been noticeably impressed by the demo tape, was the obvious choice.
"[2] Following the footsteps of the band's previous albums, Imaginations continued to stray from purely speed metal tendencies.
