Favorite/Best riffs in Trance music

Today I was listening to an old 14 hour set from someone from the almost deceased NLTA subforum, and I suddenly heard this simple yet very effective riff from the intro of Gouryella - Tenshi. And maybe it's nostalgia, but it's such a great little riff. It never gets tired, and together with the bass key change, it's just sublime IMO. Then later an extra melody joins in and the intro is just amazing. From 1:28 onward:

Corsten has always been making pretty good riffs.

This one especially is probably my all time fav. 4:08

the best melodies are mostly older ones and whilst some may think they might be a bit cheese-like they were better than most of what we have now

to name but a few

Probably one of the best melodies ever in a trance track.

I like melodies which are not too long and stay in your head all day long, two oldies ones I still love:

Some really nice riffs, there I gotta say. But not good enough.

Now, if someone makes proper trance/euphoric remix of this, I'll squell like a Japanese schoolgirl out of pure joy.

Seriously, why am I the only one who sees a clear similarity between euphoric trance and NWOBHM/Power Metal?

Yuck. These old sounds make me miss Trance only more. Some tracks sound so 'simple' in design, and not as over produced as todays music.

The dub of this which I can't find as JJ's vocals are horrible on it

Hard Trance at a push but this is the best version of the tune

more later, enjoying hearing some good melody again
