We are the music makers (Aphex Twin song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We are the music makers is the eighth track on electronic artist Richard D. James's first studio album Selected Ambient Works 85-92 and is mostly recognisable for its use of the use of the quote "We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams" from the 1971 movie Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. The track features identifiable light-hearted bass lines and has a track length of 7:43.

Some have mistakenly attributed James with the first use of the Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory sample, but while James may have created track 8 with the quote at some time after 1985, the first use of it appeared on "Nephatiti" on ex:el by 808 State, the Manchester group who influenced James and whose Flow Coma track James remixed 2003's 26 Mixes for Cash (Disc 2, Track 6).
