Trance is all melodies and build up/breakdowns. Techno is about mini build up/breakdowns and quite repetitive, however some are very neat though.
Check out Pjotr G's "Public Struct" thats techno.
A good example of trance is Armin's "Communication" |

what about rave? |
'rave' isn't exactly a genre - but - it's generally a term used by some to describe a harder sound - like Techno or older 'Hard Trance' |

| quote: | Trance:
Layers:__________6-15
Melodies:________3-7
Made with:_______Synths, beatboxes, real instruments, samples, vocals, random sounds, electric guitars, acidboxes, etc.
Melody lengths:__10 seconds, to 2 minutes
Top 40 Hits:_____around 30 in North America, around 300 in Europe.
Song structure:__Starts small, like a techno song, then adds layer after layer, building to climax of uber-layyered energy, often with tricks like taking away the beat to listen to the melody, then bringing it all back like a motha****a. Or maybe it gently reconnects them or something (there are hundreds of ways to build it up). By the middle there are a large number of melodies, most of which are parts of one another, and speeding up of the others. Sometimes vocals are added during the buildup, and sometimes vocals are added during the "breakdown", or when it builds up, or often not at all. Sometimes they are really repetitive, like one phrase over and over, and sometimes they're as ever-changing as classical. Most trance has crazy little "flying-sounds", and often contains really long air strings, and runaway melodies. Techno people hate it. It's WAY too memorable (read: good) and "poppy" (read: successful) for their snobbish razor-thin repetitive tastes.
Techno:
Layers:__________1-4
Melodies:________0-2 (95% of all techno is 100% beats, although some detroit stuff has one or two short melodies)
Made with:_______beatboxes, samples
Melody lengths:__1 second to 7 seconds (7 seconds is rare)
Top 40 Hits:_____0 in North America, around 30 in Europe.
Song Structure:__A beat starts at the beginning, then a couple beat layers are added at some point, which then repeat throughout the song, for the entire length. Sometimes there are cool little effects in the song, and sometimes the beats do funky little things. But that's about it. (it's okay sometimes, and some of the cooler ones are good). A techno song would look like a flat line, where trance would be all over the place. There are no vocals in techno (although there is an occasional vocal sample, or a particularly innovative song that adds them. Not that vocals are neccessary.)
