“In Trance” is the third studio album by German rock band
Scorpions, released by RCA Records in 1975. The album's music was a complete
departure from the progressive krautrock of the two previous albums in favor of
a hard rock sound of shorter and tighter arrangements with which the band would
achieve their later global success and fame; extended suites in the vein of
songs such as "Lonesome Crow" and "Fly to the Rainbow" are
absent altogether. It is the first album by the band to contain the now-famous
logo and controversial artwork.
“In Trance” este al treilea album de studio al trupei
germane de rock Scorpions, lansat de catre RCA Records in 1975. Muzica
albumului a fost o complete desprindere de catre stilul progresiv krautrock al
primelor doua albume, in favoareaa unui sunet de hard rock al aranjamentelor
mai scurte si mai puternice cu care trupa va deveni faimoasa la nivel mondial;
succesiunile extinse din interiorul cantecelor ca “Lanssome Crow” si “Fly to
the Rainbow” sunt absente intrutotul. Este primul album al trupei care contine acum faimosul si controversatul
logo al design-ului de arta pentru coperta.
