For me it's got to be Chicane - Autumn Tactics (Thrillseekers Remix). The second breakdown is awesome.

Not sure if anyone mentioned it, but...

Armin van Buuren ft. Ray Wilson - Yet Another Day (Armin's Downbeat Interpretation)

Above and Beyond - Liquid Love

I don't know if these are mentioned

Airwave- "Alone in the dark" (deep melancholic trance.An Excellent piece of music!)

Airwave- "lightspeed" (excellent melancholic track)

Firewall- "Reflections" (Lange at his most beautifull Vangelis-like chords.Anyways, it has this high-pitched synth on top, it's ssooo emotional) Sample- http://mp3.juno.co.uk/MP3/SF81425-01-01-01.mp3

Firewall- "Touched" (Both original and plastic angels mixes)- (This is according to many trance producers and djs one of the BEST melodic trance tunes ever written-Armin has it in his top-5 (don't know if that's good though). sample- http://mp3.juno.co.uk/MP3/SF81425-01-02-01.mp3

Thrillseekers- "Synaesthesia"(En-motion mix) (No comments, The original instrumental track was sick in my opinion)

Art of Trance- "Labyrinth parts 1 and 2" (Ok this is a sick lead-line there!Invokes a feel of "desperation". A very dark trance tune. "Gothic" trance indeed. Very underrated.

Rapid Eye- "Circe Forever" (classic)

Solar Stone- "Seven Cities" (No comments)

Dreas- "Morning Snow" (This is the b-side of "sonic rush".A very touching tune. Sad it went unnoticed)sample- http://www.4djsonly.com/4DJ/index/p...m/productID=606 (you have to be a member first but it's very easy anyway)

Cyclone- "Rivierra" (Another underrated tune. Pure sad nostalgic bliss.Just listen to this and catch yourself crying)


there are many more out there.Start with these

Most things by Voyager (Justin Scott Dixon) are pretty melancholic. very hypnotic/.

Sad is not the word. you mean melancholic.

If you wanna listen to SAD TRANCE MUSIC, download some funeral music and but a 4-4 beat over it. lol

SOme of the suggestions on this thread are interestingly perscribed. Alot of trance is written in a minor key, but doesn't actually end up sad -- but more ethereal, thoughtful, or driving and ominous.

En-Motion - Getting Away With It (THrillseeker's INstrumental)
Not because the track is definitively sad, per se, but because it does have this "solemn" sound to it that I experienced at one time when I was in a rather lonesome period in my life.

Armin van Buuren - Never Wanted This (Progressive Downtempo)
Lyrics seemed sad, and the strings touched my heart somehow.

Actually, downtempo, IMO, is the better place to look for more "thoughtful" emotions that are slow. Sadness is difficult to experience in a fast pace (but I will call for exceptions).
