Filed under: Programming

Exclusively on AOL Radio's Video Game Scores station, fans can now hear a track every hour, at the top of the hour, from the new Echoes of War CD. Echoes of War features fully orchestrated arrangements of the best music Blizzard Entertainment has had to offer over the past decade. You will also be treated to a glimpse of the future, as Echoes of War debuts the stirring music from StarCraft II, World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, and Diablo III for the first time on compact disc.

With an all-star team featuring the Eminence Symphony Orchestra and special guests including composer Kow Otani (Shadow of the Colossus) and arrangers Go Shiina and Bill Motzing (The Simpsons, LA Confidential), we invite you to stay awhile and listen. There's nothing out there that matches the scale and approach of Echoes of War, so please join us for this celebration of the music from Blizzard Entertainment.

This premiere is happening right now through Sunday evening, exclusively on AOL Radio's Video Game Scores station. Click the link below to start listening now.

Also for those of you who listen to Classical music, you may have noticed that 20th Century is absent from the player. The station isn't gone; it simply has been renamed to Modern Classical. So check out if you haven't gotten the chance.

Guns N' Roses fans have been clamoring for new material for years after 1991's acclaimed "Use Your Illusion 1 & 2" and aside from "The Spaghetti Incident" and the 1999 track "Oh My God" (from the End of Days Soundtrack), nothing really new has come out of the GNR camp - until today.

On our Hard Rock station, listen to the brand new single "Chinese Democracy" from the forthcoming, long-awaited album "Chinese Democracy," which will hit Best Buy stores on November 23rd. We're playing the song at the top of every hour, each hour so you'll have plenty of opportunities to catch it.
