Imaginary Sonicscape is an album by the band Sigh. It was released by Century Media Records originally in 2001. The album cover was designed by Stephen O'Malley.

Imaginary Sonicscape is not a traditional black metal album in sense. As with much of the later Sigh albums, this album verges on experimental tendencies. Some examples of this would be during the third quarter of "Scarlet Dream" the track drops the metal sound completely and develops a dub reggae type sound. Another song on the album, "A Sunset Song", has a similar change half way through the song where it develops a disco-funk sound.

Note that the Japanese release of this disc has a track not seen on other releases of the album; the track is titled "Born Criminal Condemned," and falls between "Slaughtergarden Suite" and "Bring Back the Dead."
