EMF's "Children" comes from Schubert Dip, the British band's debut album, released on Parlophone in May 1991 and named with a pun that crosses a sherbet sweet with the composer Franz Schubert. The music is credited to James Atkin, who sings lead, Ian Dench on guitar and keyboard, Zac Foley on bass, Mark Decloedt on drums and Derry Brownson, who works the sampler.
Pascal Gabriel and Ralph Jezzard produced it, Dench and Jezzard mixed, and Claudia Fontaine adds backing vocals. The album's calling card was "Unbelievable", its worldwide hit, but "Children" shows the same band mixing guitars, keys and samples into one loud rush.
