IMG (file format)
IMG, in computing, refers to binary files with the .img filename extension that store raw disk images of floppy disks, hard drives, or optical discs.
Overview
The .img filename extension is used by disk image files, which contain raw dumps of a magnetic disk or of an optical disc. Since a raw image consists of a sector-by-sector binary copy of the source medium, the actual format of the file contents will depend on the file system of the disk from which the image was created (such as a version of FAT). Raw disk images of optical media (such as CDs and DVDs) contain a raw image of all the tracks in a disc (which can include audio, data and video tracks). In the case of CD-ROMs and DVDs, these images usually include not only the data from each sector, but the control headers and error correction fields for each sector as well.
Since IMG files hold no additional data beyond the disk contents, these files can only be automatically handled by programs that can detect their file systems. For instance, a typical raw disk image of a floppy disk begins with a FAT boot sector, which can be used to identify its file system. Disc images of optical media are usually accompanied by a descriptor file which describes the layout of the disc, and includes information such as track limits which are not stored in the raw image file.

Ima (BT album)
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.

Those blue skies are ahead.
Blue skies are in my head.
All the town clocks
And marching soldier's socks.
I say, "let's go, let's go, let's go
To this magic wonder show".
And I'm walking,
And crawling,
And so tired I'm insane.
I, i, i, i
I, i, I see
Blue skies are in my head.
I said, "blue skies are up ahead".
(blue skies are in my head)
I said, "blue skies are in my head".
(blue skies are in my head)
I said, "blue skies are up ahead".

Says he'd like you in the street
So like you in the street
In the lullabies.
Just when she sings
Like you in the street
So like you in the street
In the lullabies.
You can go just where she's going...
Blue skies are in my head.
I said, "blue skies are up ahead".
(blue skies are in my head)
I said, "blue skies are in my head".
(blue skies are in my head)
I said, "blue skies are up ahead".
Need a little joy,
Need a little joy,
Need a little joy,
And I have a baby boy
And need a little joy,
Need a little joy,
Need a little joy and some dancing,
Need a little joy,
Come on baby boy,
Come on blue skies.
Blue skies, oh say blue skies are in my...
Blue skies are in my head.
I said, "blue skies are up ahead".
(blue skies are in my head)
I said, "blue skies are in my head".
(blue skies are in my head)
I said, "blue skies are up ahead".
