Amazon needs to get a move on. I'm becoming restless.

Amazon think the release date is 24th.
As for the album. Only heard the first CD so far. Forgot what album I was hearing at first, because you wouldn't believe it was underground at all. Ive heard tunes from Al Storm and Technikore that would better suit this album, but it sounds like here they've thrown a Clubland set in. Few tracks are alright, but there's nothing to suggest its underground at all. You release an album called HU5, and the first track sounds as commercial as the next.
Technikore I think said that they are just representing their styles, but I hoped that they'd at least do something a bit more underground themed. Stuff like 'Fly' just shouldnt exist - neither should any of the minimal drops, and there's an entire Dougal & Gammer mini mix in there somewhere... Why? Subliminal promotion? :S :S Most of it just sounds so generic... Where Al Storm and Technikore meant to be the money horse? Bring in the sales?
So yeah bit disappointed so far, but 3 CD's to go.
Im also annoyed at the album... Why is there nowhere to put the in sleeve? It just keeps falling out! In the last ones there was a pouch thing... Threw the thing away because it was getting on my tits, which is annoying because it had a nice little tribute to Noofie on there... Someone didnt have their brain switched on when they designed that flaw..
This happened when I pulled CD 1 out... Shame because CD1 wont be taken out of the case again. The CD holder snapped :Z

Yep! Amazon believes the release date is the 24th. I've already e-mailed them twice about my pre-order.

We've always prided ourselves on the albums representing every facet of the current Hardcore sound, and allowing the artists involved creative freedom to put together the mix they want to. CD1 is somewhat of an "entry point" for people who perhaps don't pay as close attention to the other artists on the CD as they might to Al & Technikore; the album as a whole is intended to progress as a whole across the entire spectrum (or as much of it can be realistically covered in a single album).

We might as well nip this one in the bud as well. It's annoying isn't it, especially when it was in the design brief and original template for the design. We're always the first to hold our hands up and admit our mistakes, but on this occassion both the booklet and delayed release can be entirely blamed on our choice of manufacturer. They saw fit to alter the template from the HU Presents: 2010 design and modify the way in which the booklet is included without consulting us. They also barely made the final delivery on time despite being given an extra two weeks to complete the job.
There's really no way of explaining how frustrating it is when we've done everything possible to ensure a flawless product released on time. Decisions and reprimands have been made to help prevent these problems occurring in the future, but with HU5 unfortunately, people might just have to tuck the booklet inside and pretend everything's perfect - just like we do ;)
Hope you enjoy the rest of the album, we appreciate your support and feedback!

Never seen a picture of you before, strange, I always thought you were asian for some reason :s
Anyway, won't have mine for a long time if ever, in the mean time though is it possible for some to PLEASE upload Lights Down Low by Technikore somewhere? Youtube preferrably, and I will love you forever? ;D

As Chris Ross is a tad on the sad side, he noticed there was 2 copies in the HMV in Poole ;)
