It's called krautrock, and there's loads of it.

It's actually called "kosmische musik" and it was born out of krautrock when German bands of that era slowly started abandoning traditional rock instruments and started employing synths and focusing on cosmic themes. Schulze's former band Tangerine Dream pioneered the sound with albums such as Zeit, Atem and Phaedra. This particular track actually sounds like bastardized version of Movements Of A Visionary from Phaedra.

If you take stuff like this into account, then this one, released in 1976.

Or Bayreuth Return by the same guy you posted in the original vid:

It's really stretching it tho. These sounds are far from trance except for the use of arpeggios.

not too sure about earlier stuff. i haven't heard much from the 70s and before except the academic electronic music.

edit: i'm gonna bump myself too, I made a mix of this old sound a lil while ago, check it if you are interested:

I agree. I use to listen a lot to synthesizer stuff long before disco beats were added and it became trance. Never called it trance before that. However I was waiting for the disco beat back to be added back then as I can remember. JMJ - Fourth Rendez Vous increased that desire.

I think it was mentioned that synths back in those days had to have a physical component for each note and it's attributes. Times change.

And here it is the dickhead.

Clearly I was refering to "trance" as a hypnotic mood. Not as a genre part of edm in this case. But I see some people are a little bit retarded so they need a special underlining.

But here another topic is being opened up.

What is trance? A feeling, a mood or a genre limited and confined in edm? Why trance should be dance music? Can't it be a deep hypnotic mind trip?

Sorry, but how could we have missed that clear reference:
