The "Simple" Trance Tracks Thread
Hey, I've been kinda digging the minimum-Trance type of sound from the older days.
Tracks such as:
Solar Stone - Seven Cities (Solar Stone Atlantis Mix)
Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene 8 (Dado FM Remix)
TasteXperience - Summersault (Original Mix)
DJ Tiesto - Theme from Norefjell (Magikal Remake) [a bit fluffy, but I still kinda like it)
Morgenroth - E'ela (Original Mix 1996)
Cosmic Baby - Fantasia (Original Mix) or (Celestial Harmonies)
Mat Zo - Lucky Strike
So I was wondering, do you guys know any more songs like these ones? For some reason I like TasteXperience's Summersault, it sounds dreamy and it's like you're falling from the atmosphere. and of course Seven Cities is a classical euphoric song. I also like the simple yet euphoric piano melody of "E'ela" by Morgenroth.
If you guys know any other songs that have these sounds, from any era, please share ^^ I'm always looking for more!
Fizst track that instantly comes to mind is:
Solar Stone - "Release"
well....
members of mayday - 10 in 10 (Pvd Remix)
Jean Michel Jarre was a legend. Way ahead of his time.
not what you listed but when i think simple , i think of those tracks that were really stripped down. Mixed on a 16 channel console. 909 drums. 1 reverb. 1 compressor. No samples. This one is sort of what i mean. No crazy layering, no loops , just very simple but effective programming.
the tracks posted above were rather excessive and indulgent in terms of production. Not saying it was good or bad, but simple doesn't come to mind. Lots of layers and a wide sonic palette.

Not really sure what you mean, but if you like cosmic baby you might like mystic force.
you could replicate all that with software. But then you would sound like music that was already done. Kinda pointless.

Cyclone Tracy - Piano In Trance
Beyond - Silver
Country & Western - Reincarnation

I like these 'effortlessly brilliant' tracks
Another classic example I can think of is Lustral - Everytime (Nalin & Kane remix)

thought of this, looked it up and it had minimal on it 
maximal i call it. not that nasty minimal stuff, it shares some characteristics... simplistic, stripped out. the opposite of a wall of sound. just the perfect elements brought together in expert fashion.
you could call it minimal trance... except it has SOUL! the one thing minimal lacks.
another PERFECT and gorgeous example of a soulful stripped back elegant trance track. thank you mr boratto

When I think "simplistic trance", I think of this track. Simple & steady.
i really don't think of trance at all when i think of simplistic danceable and enjoyable tracks.
i think of stuff more along the lines these:
i forgot that i really love this track till about 2:55 then i think it loses the plot. it starts off so great.
surface- heavenly flight, from 1993's Various � Trance Odyssey
robotiko rejecto technology/at the height of fighting (desert edit
revelation - first power (domination dub)
Simple but (still) such an amazing and hypnotic track of 1995:
