i'd say that to some extent whoever said that music is made by key people is right. i mean...at least all the good music seems to be made by key groups of people in the biz. of course there are a ton of people trying, but the real artists that pump out tune after tune that is worth anything are very few...and also not the ones people usually recognize or think of...

Robert Miles: Children. He did release an album, but Children was his only major hit.

I think i agree with you here and could think Robert Miles as a one hit wonder. 'Fable', 'Red Zone' and 'One & One' (featured only on the reissue of the album) which also got single releases off 'Dreamland', weren't nearly as big as 'Children' and weren't such big hits anymore. Sadly his other albums didn't help him to get back to the top chart positions. '23am' which was a bit different from 'Dreamland', was much deeper and had a more ambient feel with some mellow breaks and dream house tunes and something else. He didn't do it with 'Organik' & 'Organik Remixes' either which were even more different from the predecessors; experimental, ethnic stuff with influences from trip hop, ambient and other downtempo material.
He just did some right music at the right time and after the fuss has faded out, he decided to head towards to a different style of music.

Why would i be kidding about it? Everyone knows Dreamland got sold alot because Children was on it, not because of the overall goodness of the album or something like that. I still didn't say the album was bad but the singles and the whole album just weren't anywhere close as big hits as Children.

There was also Fable, so he wasn't a one-hit wonder.

That wasn't a hit really compared to Children so i'm still on the side of a one hit wonder. No one ever talks about the other tracks either, it's always "Children this Children that". Children was and and still is his only massive hit.
