SURPRISE – ZATANNA’S THEME (by Matthew Harwood: Infinite Crisis video game soundtrack)

SUMMARY:                               RUNNING TIME: 1:19 MIN.

Serving as Zatanna Zatara’s theme for the Infinite Crisis video game, “Surprise” by instrumentalist Matthew Harwood appears on the game’s 2015 official soundtrack.  

REVIEW:

Tinged with an enigmatic Middle Eastern carnival-like flavor, “Surprise” lives up to its name.  Starting slow, the track twists into an up-tempo New Age melody that proves ideal for Zatanna’s brand of backwards-speaking magic.  Matthew Harwood’s take on Zatanna is admirably in the same league as fellow composer-musicians Ivan Torrent and Thomas Bergersen, in terms of a larger-than-life style.  As brief as it is, “Surprise” offers a top-flight option for epic instrumental playlists.

Note: As a download double-feature, one might consider Louis Febre’s “Zatanna” track from the same-named episode for the 2011 Smallville: Score from the Complete Series album.
