Rock on, Diablo Fans! I just placed an order for the Legendary Edition, which will only have a single limited production run. FYI, I'm pretty hyped about this.
I have listened to both CDs 3 times now. The most AMAZING music, EVER imo!!!
"Children of the Worldstone" is the most frightening song ever. It gives me chills Every time I listen to it.. it feels as if Diablo himself is right behind me.
The dvd is awesome also! It is great to see who created this wonderful product!
Can't wait for Blizzard to release more great products like this one!
Sorry, we are in the middle of redesigning a new Standard Edition.
It should be out by mid February 09, please be patient.
I'm sorry for the delay!
I'm sorry about this, we will be starting pre-orders for a new standard edition which will be manufactured in US for better value for customers based in North America at the end of this month. So instead of paying for such a high price tag for posting, you will be only be paying for domestic postage cost.
I hope this will excite our fans in the US/EU.
As soon as we have approval from Blizzard, we will post the NEW cover artwork.
Thank you!
However, keep visiting www.eminenceonline.com (it'll be updated and all end of this month) and we will give you huge updates as soon as we can announce it!
Talk about delay.
Eminence Online will be updated next week.
We will also have huge announcement for Echoes of War soon too.
Keep your eyes out!

It will be ready for Pre-Orders soon.
The echo sounds really crappy, the oboe/clarinet sounds terrible and unfitting, the guitar part that used to kick Tristram into gear is now really slow as if the guitarist can't play it any faster. A ways in, the strings drown out the guitar.
I honestly have never been so revolted at a song in my life. This shakes my entire foundation of belief in Blizzard.
WHERE THE #$& IS MATT ULEMEN?!
This is a re-arrangement, not the original.
Also, the tempo marking is what was set by Blizzard, and it's not that the guitarist can't play faster, that's the actual tempo we record to clicktrack. Also Russell Brower and myself was there for the direction of the mixing of these tracks and we felt they were balanced.
Oh, and Matt Uelmen did like the recording.
I think it basically comes down to people's tastes. If you like to stick with the original, that's fine. If you want to hear it in a new way, that's fine too. I'm sorry it didn't suit you. If you want to talk about quality, that's a different matter.
And Good Work!
Yes I do have the translation but I'm really pressed for time (I'm prepping for our next concert in September - www.anif09.com) so can you wait a little?
