I assumed the same. I'm sure all the trouble has wrecked his mental health.

Last time I saw him at a rave (4-5 year-ish), he seemed perkly and all, but after a few drinks, you could notice how everything is weighting down on him (this was around the time the bigger names kept shunning him and Gammer barely did any proper advertisement for his HU album).

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They have had almost a year to fix it and they haven?t. I mentioned this more than 6 months ago.
Not impressed.
I'm still upset at the fact I had to re buy tracks from the Warped Science and 24/7 Bundles.
This stuff can't be that hard to fix. I am going to have a go at fixing Dream Surprise myself. I was really expecting the CDs to be fixed, Even if the download didn't get updated.
It's such a shame its Dream Surprise that's broken. Oh well. I'm not going to stress anymore about it.

He is a good guy.
Every interaction I have had with him has been positive. He replaced a track that got corrupted in my diversions USB. He told me how to get the USB out of the Dark Shadows Steel box thingy because I couldn't find it. He always responded to my moaning emails about where were the collectors edition and Blu The Roof emails.
He tried his best and did everything he could. He really wanted the best for HU and for Hardcore in general. He got let down so many times by so many people.
My speculation
I don't think he is involved with the day to day running of HU anymore. As far as I can tell Fracus does the business stuff and the sorting of albums and Linda with the same last name as Darwin deals with the shipping. I'm assuming they're related or married. This is what the moving thing was about.
End of my speculation.
I feel very sad about how everything turned out. I know I was one of the people piling on the pressure when deliveries were missed and promises were broken. I now feel really bad for that. 99.9% of the issues were not his. The only thing he was guilty of is trusting too much and believing people when they said they would do something.
He had to deal with upset people like me for issues he couldn't help. I'm sorry for my part in that.
I hope that whatever he is doing now he is happier and dealing with less stress. He said a few years ago about going to do home theatre instalations so I assume he is doing that or taking a well earned break.

Hang on you saying the CDs contain the same messed up versions of the tracks as the downloads? That is really messed up if true.

I like what Al does, but don't make him into a hero he is not. He is, after all, supposed to be the one who handled his own stuff on HU, not cdjay

I?m aware of that my post about the broken files was aimed at him. Especially because he still went on to sell the warped science catalog on bandcamp with 1 broken track still. It?s still there
https://247hardcore.bandcamp.com/album/warped-science-the-complete-collection
Track number 126. You can see the time.
Even worse is the fact you can go and buy the fixed file off any download store.

So the two new anthologies are on CDr discs. Utter utter junk.
Nearly a year for 10p CD recordable discs with wonky tracks on them.
I won't spend another penny on anything at HU now, they are dead to me.
