You'll see...
 Psst, sources has told me that the artwork trailer might be the one Eminence recorded. And I don't see what's so surprising. Eminence perfomed WoW music in concerts before and even had a deal with Blizzard where they provided WoW prizes for some concerts they had. Its not like they had zero contact with that company. And no I cannot cite my sources to anyone. On a bit off topic note, I knew about Diablo 3 ages ago thanks to a friend I know who works in Blizzard. I refrained from saying anything naturally, not just cause of the whole "confidential" stuff, but also cause I don't care much about Blizzard games. Eminence Official website
Regarding the composer of D3 Blizzard Worldwide Invitational: Day One
At least one composer is confirmed... There's nowhere I can't reach. { :: ~ Air - the 1000th Summer ~ :: } :: That sea went on forever, into the blue distance :: * That road went on forever, continuing straight ahead * ~ : Summer comes again, shining silver : ~ : When I close my eyes, suddenly I can see that day's blue sky :

I know Seraph, thats why I used the word "performed" and not "recorded". :P
They obviously met the company when they asked for permission to perform the music in concerts. The WoW prizes I saw at the concert indicated that they had further dealings with the company. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. { :: ~ Air - the 1000th Summer ~ :: } :: That sea went on forever, into the blue distance :: * That road went on forever, continuing straight ahead * ~ : Summer comes again, shining silver : ~ : When I close my eyes, suddenly I can see that day's blue sky :

As to whether or not they contribute to the rest of the soundtrack, we shall see... And regarding the youtube video, VGL does great work, but that video... Was the conductor off or the video itself? Cause there were times I heard the Brass players were not in sync with the beat. Compare it to the official artwork trailer to see what I mean. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? { :: ~ Air - the 1000th Summer ~ :: } :: That sea went on forever, into the blue distance :: * That road went on forever, continuing straight ahead * ~ : Summer comes again, shining silver : ~ : When I close my eyes, suddenly I can see that day's blue sky :

Ok, after several listens to the youtube video, I realise something horrible that makes me wanna outright insult Tommy.
The orchestra was playing over the original recorded track, the one in the artwork trailer. Some performers were a bar off or something, came in too early and made the track sound like shit. The trumpet player was the obvious one. Please watch the artwork trailer from gametrailers or official Diablo 3 site and see the horrible major difference. Seems like Tommy got VGL to karaoke badly over the original track. This is a huge insult to everyone that worked on the music, especially the original performers of the recorded track. *hint hint* Part of me hopes that its simply a crappy video quality that butchered the sound, but the more I listen to it, the more I am convinced that this is as bad as Ashlee Simpson on SNL. If I am correct, than Tommy has lost all integrity for me. First Play!, now VGL? Is there no more integrity in any industry? How can you possibly believe having a full orchestra lipsync to the original track? Ashlee Simpson couldn't do it as one person, no way can a large group pull it off and fool everyone. I am digusted. How ya doing, buddy? { :: ~ Air - the 1000th Summer ~ :: } :: That sea went on forever, into the blue distance :: * That road went on forever, continuing straight ahead * ~ : Summer comes again, shining silver : ~ : When I close my eyes, suddenly I can see that day's blue sky :

I know that VGL used synth tracks for certain pieces like MGS, but the LA Hollywood Bowl performance was great and I never heard any actual backing track like some karaoke bar that night. This is the first time that I am aware of such thing as backing tracks for an orchestral performance and I am appalled.
Not to mention having your performers coming in early is the biggest mistake ever, and having a backing track just made that mistake more jarring and obvious. Either way, its digusting and unprofessional, and it shows they didn't take this seriously despite the fact Diablo 3 is BIG to the entire gaming world. Also regarding Eminence recording for Diablo 3: Eminence Forums • View topic - Eminence in Soundtracks This is the closest thing to an official announcement till they front page it or Blizzard says something. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? { :: ~ Air - the 1000th Summer ~ :: } :: That sea went on forever, into the blue distance :: * That road went on forever, continuing straight ahead * ~ : Summer comes again, shining silver : ~ : When I close my eyes, suddenly I can see that day's blue sky :

God, despite my distaste with Play! and VGL, I'm probably gonna end up getting their CDs, especially if they have tracks not done in love orchestra before.
But that's probably all I am gonna get from them. From now on, I think I will have to live with the fact that Night in Fantasia 2007 by Eminence will be the greatest and last game concert I will ever have the pleasure of listening... Since I will be moving to the US the second my visa is done processing. I mean I will try and visit Sydney during times when a concert is on, but money can get tight for airline tickets... Anway back to Diablo 3. The overture sounds fantastic in the original recording artwork trailer. Eminence did very well.
