So I don't actually know what the lineup is because for some ungodly reason I didn't get an email yet I have an account with the store. Me and Jon will be having words about this! 
But so far what I know is there's only 3 CD mixes to it, which I already knew since Jon told me they were cutting back down to 3, and there's no hardcore breaks CD, and no Entity. Thanks for anyone who can fill in the blanks for me!

Scott Brown & Chris Fear??? Now that one can be a hit or miss.
Fracus & Darwin will be a great mix like always, but I am most looking forward to Al Storm and Shimamura!

Should be very powerful, as usual. The Freeform disc is a miss, though. I know the main Freeform boys have their own projects knocking about as well, so there may have been a lack of material.
Al Storm and Shimmy should be fun as fcuk.

There are enough freeform centric projects around that there's no need for a dedicated disc at this point. Frankly, the bulk of people who prefer freeform are unlikely to buy something like HU7 for one CD they might like. They're infinitely more likely to sneer at it
So whilst there's no breaks or freeform disc, they will be represented across the 3 CDs which I think is more helpful (it's easier to get people interested in either if cleverly presented amongst more familiar and accessible things).
Oh, and CLSM isn't on HU Breaks 2 FYI. More info on that will follow after HU7s release

I've come to view the flagship HU-series as the complete Hardcore experience. You have your mainline upfront Hardcore on the first couple of discs, a breaks CD and a Freeform CD. Sounds like HU7 will be chopping off a lot of branches.
You've just chopped the appeal of your series in half by taking away two things I felt made HU the torch-bearer after Bonkers' demise. You might be offering Freeform or Breaks in other products, but I'm not going to spend the extra money bringing them in. HU was a nicely rounded and perfectly balanced product, so I'm struggling to understand the change in recipe - unless it's down to more fiscal matters, typically.

HU6 was the first entry with a "breaks" disc; something we wanted to do but not something we feel compelled to do every time.
"Chopping Off" the Freeform CD, which has been present since HU4 (through Presents 2010, 5 and 6), wasn't a decision made lightly. Ultimately the HU series is, as you said, the flagship *UK Hardcore* album. It makes far more sense, IMO, to get the best of everything across the genre and sprinkle it through varied mixes rather than cordon off into substyles. Notable artists and tracks from Freeform will, of course, feature. However with a load of dedicated CDs available, and an increasingly discrete audience, who have made it pretty clear they are categorically not interested in HU, it makes zero sense to service a market that won't buy the project. It's the same reason we're yet to do a Gabba disc (never say never, heh).
Doing a HU Breaks 2 album was always the plan, and again it makes far more sense to push it towards the D&B market in addition to our core audience rather than shoehorn it into the series proper thus restricting it's reach.
The variety will still be there, in fact I'd argue each mix is *more* likely to be varied. Proof is in the pudding; although I'm no stranger to people writing us off before we show our hand it's increasingly bewildering with our track record. We've made some missteps, but I reckon we know what we're doing
