" Björk, who sang on "Qmart" and "Ooops," and is also credited with co-writing the two songs. It is considered to be the first major release to feature the sample from the film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory of the phrase "we are the music makers," which became one of the most common vocal samples in electronic music. It is also the first pop-oriented electronic-music album to feature guest vocals on a few tracks by important indie rock/alternative rock artists, another thing that became commonplace on pop-oriented electronic-music albums.
