{"product_id":"4582798814435","title":"transformer Breakout +2 Japan Music CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduct Description\u003cbr\u003e\nA tribute to true rock star Lothar Antoni, who passed away in February 2025, Trance, a veteran German metal band following in the footsteps of Scorpions and Accept, is releasing two of their early masterpieces in paper sleeve Japanese editions for the first time! Formed in 1979, Trance is one of the oldest German metal bands, after Scorpions and Accept! Their masterpiece debut album (1982), packed with great songs including the hit metal ballad \"Loser,\" is being remastered and includes bonus tracks for the first time in Japan! Paper sleeve reissue. Debuting as a German metal supernova following Scorpions and Accept, Trance sold a total of 150,000 copies of their first two albums combined, but gradually lost momentum due to label troubles and the rise of Power\/Thrash Metal. Their groundbreaking 1982 debut album, \"Break Out,\" is finally being released in Japan for the first time. Unusually for Germany at the time, TRANCE self-produced a demo tape as a 7\" EP in 1981, which caught the attention of a record company. They signed with ROCKPORT, a major indie label, and released \"Break Out\" in May 1982. The over seven-minute metal ballad \"Loser\" from this album unexpectedly became the band's first European hit, creating a \"sensation overnight,\" and by early 1982 they had grown to the point of undertaking major tours in the Benelux countries and Germany. This first album, with its melancholic vocals by the band's lead singer and guitarist, Lothar, and dramatic songs, was compared to their predecessors, the SCORPIONS, and achieved explosive sales in the import market not only in Germany but also in Japan at the time. TRANCE continues to perform today, 45 years after its formation, with original members Markus Berger (guitar) and Thomas Klein (bass) at the core. Sadly, original member Lothar Antoni passed away in February 2025. This Japanese edition, released in a paper sleeve, includes two bonus tracks from the aforementioned self-produced single! Featuring remastered audio and a completely redesigned booklet, this release is truly long-awaited. First time in Japan!
