I'd appreciate keeping vocals to a minimum. Yes Everytime has vocals, but they're ok :p
bring em!

I didn't really think this through when I made the thread. I could definitely list a lot more, but not to spam with embeds I'll just add one more
the Ambient Mix of this track is bliss.

And Armin - Communication.

I'm very much out of touch with trance these days, so I might be clueless about this; were there a lot more melodies like these made before than now?

Most modern trance is so emotionally simplistic and stylistically excessive that attempts at melancholy are usually so over-cooked and bombastic the effect is lost. Melancholy is a subtle, lingering mood - everything contemporary trance is not.

To a give a counterexample to the kind of overblown trance you've mentioned - Recondite's Plangent series is a perfect example of understated, subtle melancholy. A simple bassline and a few notes can say more than a giant, overblown sea of arpeggios and strings.

While I do appreciate the examples you posted, isn't this more minimal techno than trance? Then again, the lines might blur in the Resistance D track I posted as well. I realize it's not your typical trance-track.

Woony just likes to post melodic techno in trance threads in the vague hope he'll convert a trancecracker or two.

Obvious one:
Light The Fuse
soooo....basically trance tunes in a minor key - and going for more wierd melancholy sound then its G minor - (or a good majority of psy :p )
