Trance-Fusion is an album of guitar solos completed by Frank Zappa shortly before his death, but not released until 2006.[2] The album had previously been announced for release in 1999[3] and 2003[4] and again announced in 2005 in relation to the Zappa Plays Zappa tour. It had previously been only available through bootlegs.[5]

Zappa had previously released several other albums consisting entirely of guitar solos - Guitar, the Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar series, the cassette-only The Guitar World According to Frank Zappa, and the posthumous Frank Zappa Plays the Music of Frank Zappa: A Memorial Tribute.
