Is Matt Gray still active and selling Reformation music?
If this thread is not in the right section or not appropriate, please let me know the best place to post or to remove
![]() On 29/10 I bought the Reformation Vinyl Record from Matt Grays website, but I'm yet to receive the goods (link to website below for reference). https://6581records.com/products/ref...oads-matt-gray The app the confirmation email tells me to check for tracking the goods states the vinyl is shipped, but there's no tracking reference. I've not received a confirmation email that the goods are shipped either, which the order confirmation email stated would happen. I've tried contacting Matt Gray twice via the email address provided on his website and on the tracking app (both suggest the same email) but the email address is out of service. I then tried contacting him via his facebook fan/business page, but no response either. Looking at his profile though, it doesn't seem he's posted much for a few months. Does anyone know whether he's still actively trading on his website/making music or has anyone else had this experience too? The record was a Christmas present for my boyfriend so I was really hoping to receive the goods. Also, records aside, I'm hoping Matt Gray's alright in general because it seems like he's gone completely off grid quite suddenly since releasing Reformation 5! Thanks in advance for any help ![]() |

Few comments saying the same on the Facebook page from 5 weeks ago
Given that he is on Reformation 5 and previously delivered on the others, does seem a bit strange about the non delivery of recent items, especially with no updates. Hoping all ok |

if you read his Reformation5 updates on kickstarter you will see various updates that show "Progress is slow" due to irl/work related activity sucking up most of his time.

I think the poster wasn't talking about Reformation 5 but an actual order made that there has been no update on. Facebook posts show same problems with orders not delivered and no updates
Comments on the Kickstarter expressing concern as well as no updates on Reformation 5 |

Yes, me ![]() I ordered the Reformation 3 MP3 & CD bundle in July. After having only received the download link, I asked Matt in August, when the CD will be shipped. He answered that he will sort this out for me in the next few days - and went silent. I reminded him of my inquiry 11 days later, but never received another answer or my CD. ![]() Send me a message if I should forward his email adress (...@sky.com) to you. |

If it's the same '... 70@sky.com' email address that is mentioned as a contact on the 6581 Records website, that's the one I've tried but is now inactive ![]() I understand that the Reformation projects aren't his main job and that life can be manic, but if he doesn't have the time to facilitate website orders whilst working on Reformation 5 then he should close the website until he has the time to do so rather than delete his email address, ignore messages and not provide goods paid for. Fingers crossed whatever difficulties he's dealing with calm down soon though and we'll receive our orders one day! |

Yes he's still around but he's late on Physical deliveries. I bought the ReFourmation Triple Vinyl + CD tier in 2021 but still not shipping yet..I have faith. I backed the other 3 campaigns and they delivered.

Over and over again: communication is the key. When they will understand this?

Yes it is. I sent another reminder yesterday and the email didn't bounce so I guess with inactive you didn't mean deleted. |

Yeah the email messages I kept receiving was that ayer multiple attempts the email server I was trying to contact couldn't be reached, so assumed it was inactive rather than deleted. I've tried emailing again, so fingers crossed for more like this time round!

He could talk to some of his contemporaries who are now AAA title musicians, Alistair Brimble, Tim Wright, Chris Huelsbeck, Matthias Steinwachs etc. and I am sure they would give him contacts.
He needs another breakthough game to get him back in. I thought the soundtrack for Ninja Shodown was great but it wasn't AAA and it was 6 years ago now. |

Can't see any content (except the brief bio) due to currently not having a FB account.
![]() Could you share the news in a briefly fashion please? I was hoping to see the news cross-posted on Twitter as well but it doesn't seem to be the case. |

I do not know, but would guess maybe not struggling just yet if he has a credit in Cher's mega hit Believe....must have bought some half decent royalties in.
