Possibly the first vocal trance track to gain commercial success (in Canada, anyways).
Heck, that just might be the first vocal trance track, period.

Groundbreaking?:
Robert Miles - Children
umm...nope. I wouldn't say so. what ground did it break? taking eurodance and bringing that popular sensibility to trance? that's not breaking ground.
Yes it is. It took trance and altered the established template, introducing a focus on melodic lead and an uplifting emphasis. Sure, there were other uplifting, melodic tracks before Children (despite another Ishkur generalisation) but they were just tweaks on the recognised trance formula, where as Children took it to a further level of removal from the root sound of trance.
Because of the huge change that Children ushered in for the trance scene, denying its historical importance, for good or bad, is stupid, especially as you seem to be dismissing it because you don't like the track.
And I'm pretty sure that isn't Radagast. The writing style and personality is totally different. Clearly there's more than one arrogant classic trance elitist in the jungle.

Nope. I see him post daily on another forum, and it's the same concoction of ironic-spam and steely intellectualism as ever. The guy would never use "n00b" or "hahahaha".
n00bs. I knew it was him as soon as I saw his first post in the "House.." thread. Yes, simply on account of his 'location' 'registration' and house preferance, I can forthwith tell who it is. Call me a clairvoyant, if you will. Anyway, what the fuck do you care if it is or isn't him or her? And why should he eschew ta? He's one of the only members that I don't mind reading some of his posts, even if I'm not interested in his electro samples, as I don't listen to electro as a rule. At least he (usually) doesn't post the selfsame trite nonsense I'm wont to reading here interminably...

oh please, it's him, he just uses a dumbed down speak because to fake the illusion that he left. and the hints that it's him can be found if you look closely in his post

But the crux of the matter is that only fools need to look closely whilst one ought to discern who it is in the first post he'd ever made. Even if it had been a simple "Yes" or "No" post. Oh man, why do I even bother...
