DISCOMBOBULATE (by Hans Zimmer: Sherlock Holmes movie soundtrack)

SUMMARY:                                  RUNNING TIME: 2:24 Min.

This up-tempo instrumental tune from composer-conductor Hans Zimmer is the pivotal mood-setting tune for Robert Downey’s Jr. Sherlock Holmes & Jude Law’s Dr. John H. Watson on 2010’s Sherlock Holmes film soundtrack.

REVIEW:

Within the context of the film, Zimmer’s ode to 19th Century British sleuthing works wonderfully.  To its credit, this upbeat orchestral tune enhances Robert Downey Jr.’s unconventional approach to Sherlock Holmes.  Only perhaps Benedict Cumberbatch’s TV Sherlock could also incorporate Zimmer’s tune as is — its contemporary catchiness would be a poor fit for faithful visual interpretations of Holmes (i.e. Jeremy Brett, Basil Rathbone, etc.).  As a digital single, “Discombobulate” serves up an instrumental treat, as its stylish British flavor is hard to miss.  If one enjoys mystery mood playlists, this tune is worth the download.
