Imaginations from the Other Side

Imaginations from the Other Side is the fifth studio album by German 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. This album also marks the first since "Battalions of Fear" in which Kai Hansen (Helloween, Gamma Ray) did not guest on vocals or guitar, and the last album to feature vocalist Hansi Kürsch as bassist. It was also their first album to spawn off any singles, in the form of "A Past and Future Secret" and "Bright Eyes". It was remastered and re-released on 15 June 2007, with bonus tracks and videos.
