From who? I'd be surprised if they were involved in this project.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thanks for all the info. Great for a news article. I didn't know that Eminence performed on WoW.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It's actually fairly common for VGL to use playback. It's the only concert I'm aware of that does this, though. I agree both VGL and PLAY! have disappointed, but there are still concerts with integrity out there -- Eminence's productions, Symphonic Shades, Distant Worlds, and Press Start all come to mind.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Check here:

SoundtrackNet : Article - Video Games Live

This was the very first performance of Video Games Live and the reliable writer states:

"The second half of the concert sounded different than the first. Where the orchestra was occasionally struggling with some of the cues, the second half had some obvious overlays of the original recordings. This also resulted in some odd sonic warbles when the choir was slightly off-pitch from the recording."

Also, it's quite possible that the VGL CD track listings (announced here) will feature past studio recordings. It's possible that the studio recordings are new with the Slovak National Orchestra, but I doubt it. We won't know until the release whenever that will be.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Talking of which, there was a very prominent false advertisement of the Video Games Live CD at Music4Games today. I don't think it was intentional -- I suspect they were told of the new release date but not the new track listings so they did a quick Google search and re-reported an old source.

And Yura, I completely sympathise with you on the matter. I personally officially resolved my issues with Tommy some months ago and we each apologised to each other for acting immaturely here. However, I still can't condone VGL for its actions from this whole saga. You probably think I'm a bastard, but my main problem with you back some months ago was that you were supporting VGL even though there were just as bad as PLAY! if not worse. If that was because you weren't aware of all the corruption rather than because of a more malicious alliance, I'm really sorry for vindicating you. It's an absolutely terrible situation and I really hope artists with integrity like you manage to shine through it. No matter what has happened in the past, I'm very happy to support you in future.

And Tommy, I didn't see you post originally. Thanks for clarifying the matter on whether they are new or old studio recordings.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
