Imaginary Day is an album by the Pat Metheny Group, released in 1997 by Warner Bros. It also won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Album.
The album leans heavily toward world fusion, drawing upon a variety of global influences. Indonesian styles are particularly pronounced, with Balinese gamelan music appearing in "Imaginay Day" and "Into the Dream". "The Heat of the Day" demonstrates repetitive whiffs of Iranian folk music. It also showcases the Group's first (and thus far, only) foray into industrial rock, with "Roots of Coincidence". And in "Awakening", the album concludes with strongly Gaelic melodies.
