Editorial Reviews
Perhaps R. Kelly's brushes with the law have caused him to turn down his love light, since his seventh album Chocolate Factory takes scrupulous pains to show an idealized high-minded face of love, eschewing his usual steamy cocktail of raunchy lust and replacing it with a sweet, winsome romanticism. "I'll Never Leave," is a wistful valentine, while "The Heart of a Woman," is embarrassingly empathetic to the plight of the feminine kind and is hardly the kind of fare that one expects from Marvin Gaye's heir apparent. Despite his real life racy escapades, Kelly is at his best musically when he's an unrepentant bad boy but he doesn't even show any grit until "Been Around the World," his confessional duet with a rasping Ja Rule, the fretful bluesy "You Made Me Love You," and "Ignition," a paean to parking. Despite "Ignition"s first line, "Girl, please let me stick my key in your ignition, babe" it's rather tame by the standards Kelly has set on his earlier discs. "Chocolate Factory" also includes 6 bonus tracks from Loveland the album that was slated for a 2002 release, but was ostensibly shelved after it was rampantly bootlegged on the Internet. Despite the disc's soft focus, Kelly is at the height of his vocal powers, and once he weans himself from the gooey sentimentality and returns to his persona of a smooth seductive operator he'll once again be an artist to be reckoned with. --Jaan Uhelszki

Originally released in 1971, Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory was an imaginative film that drew as much inspiration from the leftover vibes (and drugs) of the psychedelic '60s as it did from Roald Dahl's fanciful children's book, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. If you doubt it, check out this special 25th anniversary edition of the original soundtrack album, which features lyrics and music by Anthony Newley, who was a major influence on David Bowie and whose work on this film has clearly inspired '90s rockers from Veruca Salt (who took their name from the spoiled rich girl) to the Butthole Surfers (who could easily cover the sinister, trippy "Wondrous Boat Ride". C'mon, everybody, let's sing: "Oompa loompa/Doomp-ity-do/I've got another lesson for you...." --Jim DerogatisCustomer Reviews:

Interesting Music for an Interesting Time in an Interesting Medium.......2006-12-26
"I've Got a Golden Ticket"
"Cheer Up, Charlie"
"The Candyman"
"Pure Imagination"
"Oompa Loompa"
and "I Want It Now"
This is a pretty good mix of songs for the time (1971) and the medium (film soundtrack). The soundtrack is complimented by the film's strength as a children's movie that attained an almost cult status due to its script, costumes, set design, and cast (especially the lead role of Willy Wonka played by Gene Wilder). The music accompanies all these aspects of the movie very well. However, you have to be in the right mindset in order to enjoy this movie. If you're in the right mood (for example, hungry) the chocolate in this movie just might pull you in for the moment.
I bought the CD because I wanted the option of listening to the music without the movie setting. That way, I could just skip from track to track and listen to the songs without having to rewind or fastforward on my VHS player.
I digress, though. Rent the movie if you haven't seen it.

It's as if composer Danny Elfman's fertile relationship with director Tim Burton had been building up to this, their 11th collaboration and perhaps the one that best encapsulates their shared aesthetics: It's hard to think of a subject better suited to the two men than an adaptation of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. For the occasion, Elfman has come up with five actual songs (and sings on them), which reminds one of the 1980s heyday of his old band, Oingo Boingo. The first, "Wonka's Welcome Song" is a demented minute-long blast that evokes 1960s kiddie TV. Each of the other four (which use Dahl's own words) is dedicated to one of the children invited to visit Willy Wonka's factory, and each is done is a different musical style. All are fantastically fun. A personal favorite is the mock-operatic "Mike TeaVee," on which Elfman basically transposes "Bohemian Rhapsody" to a hyperactive cartoon universe. The lovely "Main Titles" acts as a transition into the instrumental part of the score and will be familiar to fans of Elfman's music for Edward Scissorhands, particularly its otherworldly, celestial choral sound. The rest of the tracks simply represent the work of Elfman and his longtime arranger, Steve Bartek, at their best, alternately flamboyant, dreamlike, and suggestive. --Elisabeth VincentelliDescription
Sweet songs to sing along to all summer along! Featuring ALL the songs from the film including "Wonka's Welcome Song" and 4 Oompa-Loompa songs.Customer Reviews:
Love it.......2007-06-27
Chocolate Explorers.......2007-01-11
-The album starts of with the songs, but I don't care for them so I don't really waste time on it. After those we get into the score and things start off with the Main Titles. Elfman is the best in the business when it comes to Main Titles but the one here isn't his best. It changes tempos far too often and just feels all over the place. One second it's sweet and heartwarming, the next it's fast and loud. The next couple of tracks are classic Elfman magic that makes you wonder how the red headed composer is able to write music so good it does things to you when you listen to it.
-My personal favorites are "Golden Ticket/Factory", "Chocolate Explorers", "The Boat Arrives", "River Cruise" and off course the highlight of the album, "River Cruise Pt. 2". The other tracks are great but those are the ones that I can't live without.
-When it comes to songs Elfman knows how to write great ones as he has proven before in the past, unfortunately the songs here aren't exactly his best. Apart from "Veruca Salt" there was never really any song that I really liked. It was just a little too weird and off putting for me to fully get into. The reason why he used the weird little kazoo like voices was because the oompa loompas are small which works great in theory, but it comes off kinda of annoying in the movie.
-For me the best part of an album is the unused or alternate tracks. In this we get the fantastic "River Cruise Pt. 2". I don't know why it didn't make it in the movie, but my guess is editing changes at the last second. It's a shame because it's my favorite piece of music on the whole album. The choir that comes in at the 19 second mark and the high string that Elfman throws in and out is a great pleasure to listen to. Don't know why it didn't make it into the movie, but I'm guessing it had something to do with editing changes at the last minute
-It's not Elfman's strongest outing, but it's a very enjoyable one that was truly one of the best of 2005.
finally, they get it!!!.......2006-12-07
Unbelievable underscore; but undercooked, unmelodic, unmemorable songs.......2006-09-08
One of Elfman's signature moves as a composer is his sparkling ability to shatter the monolithic score into all manner of little skittering shards of runs, switches of time signature or key, etc. He's extremely agile and light on his feet, with a kind of restless energy that seems impossible to satisfy with anything straightahead for more than a few seconds at a time.
That's often great for a score, but it can be ruinous for a song, depending on how strong the theme is and how well established it becomes and thus able to be broken apart with bursts of novelty without the audience losing comprehension of the song that can also go by the names "hooky," "catchy," "hummable," or "memorable". These aren't catchy songs, and have so little catchy material inside them that they're difficult to even remember afterward.
On the other hand that may be beside the point for this film and reflect Elfman's willing subservience to the glorious inventive Busby Berkeley production numbers Burton creates. It's not too hard to recall crazy production-number songs filled with funny changes in other films that nonetheless stayed lodged in one's head for days. I don't see how catchy songs could have hurt, but we don't know what kind of notes he was given by Burton. The melodies are often at around the elementary level of the chorus of Oingo Boingo's "Dead Man's Party" -- perhaps the intent was to conjure oompa-loompaness. Maybe given more time he'd have found a better way. Film composer's deadlines are beyond brutal.
At any rate, they're not particularly listenable songs. Regarding the rest of the score, bravo.

Two Classics from the G.O.A.T.......2006-10-01
Chocolate Factory: the greatest Album of the 00 era period in any style or category."Ignition" is the party jam of this Centry Period. "Step in the Name of Love" is the grown Folks Feel Good Cook Out Jam. that is my Jam period. Feel Good Music 101 right there. "Dream Girl" is a Feel Good Smooth Jam. take your Lady on the Beach&just chill in the sand&play this song&watch the good times kick in. "Forever" this is the Wedding Song right here. makes you want to get on your knees&take your Lady by the hand&put that Ring on her finger. the Guitar at the start&R-Ruh's voice are so on time. the arrangements on this album are something that the Man is underrated in. R.Kelly is versatile&so creative that it's scary. He is the Ultimate Musical Genius.He can't touched as a Songwriter, can't be touched as a Arranger, can't be touched Vocally, Can't be touched as a Producer,&also as Instrumentalist. R.kelly is in a Class all by himself. His Music leaves many feelings&impressions. there ain't anybody else quite like Him. these two albums show you how incredibly Gifted The Musical Genius of our time truly is. He is the G.O.A.T. missing a Album thus far this year. Music ain't the same when the "R" ain't got anything out. hopefully this year will see a New Project,but anyway these two Classics hold things down.
