Blizzard orchestral soundtrack CD available in November
Australian-based Eminence Symphony Orchestra is releasing a two-disc compilation of Blizzard Entertainment's best known symphonic pieces. The album, called Echoes of War, covers music from the Diablo, StarCraft and WarCraft universes -- sorry, Lost Vikings fans.
The box set, which features 90 minutes of music, will cost $30 and release in mid-November. There's also an orange Legendary Edition with an extra DVD, featuring a making-of featurette and other dross supporting material for $50. Good peons will find the CD's full track list after the break. Zug-zug.

If anything it would go to Guitar Hero. Blizactivision.
And to answer your question... No.

You know there is a subliminal message in each song "don't forget to use all of your free time to play our games"

"DISK TWO
From StarCraft and StarCraft: Ghost"
Is the StarCraft: Ghost original music? If it is, that's just evil... Original music from a game we'll never see :(

Wow that art looks very much like some old Lord of the Rings wallpapers. The font style and color is very similar and the image reminds me of Lord of the Rings. Well...if it weren't for lord of the rings we wouldn't have warcraft...but still I'm not saying they are copycats or anything...just that when I saw it I instantly thought about lotr.

Looks like a screenshot of the Diablo 3 cinematic trailer. My best guess is that it's Lut Gholein, as seen in Act 2 of Diablo 2.

Moar WarCraft 3 music plsthx.

WTF no Warcraft 2 music? That stuff is insanely exciting! I suppose I'll still buy it, particularly if Amazon has a 30-sec sample of each track.

Blizzard music hasn't been the same since Jason Hayes left.
Actually...it pretty much is the same since they just rehash the old music and call it new nowadays.

There's samples on their website if anyone's interested:

Saw these guys in concert. They're fantastic. They played the Mario theme when I went which was pretty brilliant. Plus, their keyboard player decided to play the final fantasy victory theme when the winners of a contest they were running, and everyone in the audience got it and then I nerdgasmed.
