Yeah, seriously! I completely missed the Amen loop in nearly every trance song I've ever heard! WOW. Trance producers are SOOOO creative and subtle, I couldn't even tell!

Not every trance song had the loop, Heh, Some did, But variations of them as the video mentions, It's often maniputed to create new patterns.
