Normally, a melody starts over every 32 beats on average (e.g. System F vs. Armin Van Buuren - Exhale), a lot of tracks have a melody that is 64 beats long (e.g. Rank 1 - Airwave), this means the melody starts over every 64 beats (= 28 seconds @ 137 BPM).
Now, I'm looking for tracks that have a longer melody than that.
Here's the list so far:

Clint Fabian & DJ R. Kay - Panorama (Original Mix) [192]
Tony Walker - Field Of Joy (Flutlicht Remix) [128]
William Ørbit - Barber's Adagio For Strings (Ferry Corsten Remix) [104]
Gouryella - Ligaya (Original Mix) [104]
Tony Walker - Field Of Joy (Original Mix) [88]
Vincent De Moor - Green Heaven [80]

Davinox addition:
Moogwai - Labyrinth (Part 1 & 2) [72]

I am talking about the trance melody, classical intermezzos don't count.

WHO CAN ADD TO THIS LIST??
Hope to learn of some complicated trance pieces of work here.
Thanx anyway

Moon Project - Moments are Forever

Nice one!! Unbelievable I forgot that one.
That Moon Project is exactly 64, I counted, nice try though!
Thx.

... The Digital Blonde - Legato is exactly 64 beats as well. I'm not 100% sure, but try counting.

Cheers

I JUST counted... the main melody is exactly 64 beats.

rank 1 - such is life
i remember this, cuz i had to loop the whole melody thru sound recorder, the whole sample was abt 30 seconds long

i writed a song.

Possibly a somewhat pitched down version, cuz I count 64 exactly, and it seems to be a 28 sec loop in my version...
They are very rare indeed, the 64+ ones...

william orbit - barber's adagio for strings (ferry corsten mix)

there's along melody there. more than 64 beats.

crispy - in & out (signum remix) has 16 bars of AWESOME melody...
mat silver vs. tony burt - the perfect wave also has 16 bars.
system f - out of the blue, 16 bars.

most songs i've heard have either 16, 32 or 64 beat melodies.

shouldn't melodies all be in multiples of 16? cause each 16 beats is one phrase? it'd sound akward if it were 80 beats, for example.

aria one - willow (tiesto remix)
andy & the lambboys vs. Dreamgate - Now We Are Free (it's the gladiator theme song tho...dunno if that counts)

damn, it's hard compiling this list! that's all i can come up w/ on my limited mp3 collection...seems everything is 32 or 64...but yea, i definitely like more complex developed melodies...that's what makes it beautiful.

Taucher - Pictures Of A Gallery (fridge remix)

I'm pretty sure this one is 256!!!
Correct me if i'm wrong...sensational song tho!!

Can't listen to it right now, but I'm certain the extended version's melody is in that range...
