Maybe, if there is anything to suspect, it's caused a row or two in the FW camp.
I suppose that's feasible.. thing is, I don't suppose the hordes of syncofans that have him on facebook or twitter will necessarily even know about HU and they'd all probably buy in a heartbeat, seems very silly for him to not be taking advantage of that fact - it's good for all parties if they sell loads!

Come on now,
Gammer/Matt clearly has far more important things to do than promote an album project he's involved in. Judging by his FaceAche page, he's got to keep his minions happy by posting an endless number of selfies by the looks of it lmao
Judging by the amount on there, he posts more selfies of himself than a large number of women seem to do lol

Surely if it was going to cause problems with Futureworld then it wouldn't have got this far?? Wish it would hurry up either way, looking forward to it!

Maybe FW said something like 'don't hurt MP3 sales by promoting this' or something?

We should all do him a favour and promote it relentlessly all over his Facebook page. Breeze's, as well.

I was thinking of doing that myself haha, the only other explanation I can think of is that he doesn't want to promote a preorder and would prefer to wait until it's available, which is obviously not that helpful but could have his reasons I suppose... if it comes to release date and there's still nothing then I really will be at a loss as to why

Someone just asked gammer on twitter what was happening with the album and he replied to say he has no idea what's happening. They finished and delivered the album ages ago apparently.

How the hell could he have 'no idea'? Surely you'd be asking questions or keeping in touch about it or something.

The fact that he has no idea what's going on after sending the album to HU clearly shows how much he actually cares about the album, which looks like not at all.
That definitely isn't the case with Brisk. He's been putting previews up and updates on what's going on with this album all this time. Definitely wasn't the case with Marc Smith and Joey Riot and Kurt. Whenever new info was up on the release dates and delays, they were on top of it and mentioned any info to their facebook pages.

I have to admit, they're doing their best to put me off buying it.

Whoooooah, calm down 
There's been no concerted efforts to promote these albums because of the release date slip, you'll see a notable ramp up in promotion next week and certainly following shipping.
Dougal & Gammer were both incredibly excited by doing this album; check the January podcast for interview etc. There's no conspiracy, no evil empire intervention by FW.
There is precisely *no* logic in failing to promote your own artist album. It's a great album, offering exceptional value and a really good point of entry product.
The D&G album went off to proof before manufacture on the 5th of March, manufacturing commenced the end of that week. The standard turn around time we see is around 3 weeks. Delivery is expected on the 26th of March, to us.

To be fair, you did say (somewhere) that preorders help you decide how many to press...

But i mean it still shouldn't stop people like Gammer at least posting the odd, "hey, be sure to check out my latest album; pre-order here:" type thing, instead of endless selfies of him acting like a 5 year old in airports.
It wouldn't hurt to promote early, probably the opposite.
