Blizzard music collection Echoes of War gets re-released photo

Not too long ago we told you about Echoes of War, a collection of music from Blizzard game scores performed by the incredible Eminence Symphony Orchestra. It was so good that it disappeared. Now it returns in a standard edition reprinting, now with a new limited-time price.

Songs from Warcraft III, World of Warcraft, Wrath of the Lich King, StarCraft, StarCraft II, Diablo II, Diablo III, and even StarCraft: Ghost are on this two-disc collection. It also features bonus tracks arranged by Kow Otani, composer of Shadow of the Colossus

We're told that pre-ordering now will get you a $5 discount on the collection, letting you nab Echoes of War for $19.99. This deal is good until June 16th. I need to get on this. Are you interested?

I'm kind of interested but not enough to pay $11 shipping...

The music from the WoW games are good, not sure about the others. I can just play the game instead of wasting money on the song track haha

The WoW music is really engaging. It would be worth it, but like Chibi_Zero said, not with $11 shipping for a CD. :/

SAL and EMS? Is it shipping from overseas? I've only ever paid that much for imports. And as interested as I am in the CD, I agree with the guys above - not worth it. I don't want to listen that bad. Especially when, if I'm frank about it, I can find a HQ rip somewhere on the internet much quicker (and for free) I'm sure.

Why pay more money when you can just rip the music from your game CDs? The Starcraft Ghost does seem interesting though.

Because they aren't the audio tracks taken directly from the game, they are remastered by an actual orchestra. I just recently not got it and I have to say it's... pretty boring actually.

I'm sure if you're a hardcore WoW fan, or into music that sounds like it's taken from the LotR movies, you'd love it. But for the average listener, it's kind of meh.

I really wish they had some Warcraft 2 music on there. I always thought the alliance side music was really top notch. Then again... I own that game and back then you could play the game CD in a CD player and get the music so maybe all I have to do is dig up the CD. Still, a professional orchestra is a nice touch.

Shipping is expensive though, this needs to be put on iTunes.
