Did any other forum users invest in this?

It was supposed to be eleven CDs, delivered throughout 2023. So far there have been four, and all enquiries get ignored. Anyone got any intel on whether this is still happening, or is it time to claim lost funds?
Ideal website seems not to exists anymore, neither the bandcamp link of the innercircle (althought it may be just sold out and therefore taken off?). One could assume TWO 10xCD box of DROR FEILER took some time and effort to get done and indicating that label did get stuff done this year.
Ideal has never been a label that I've heard mentioned in "Rip Offs", I imagine they will deliver (maybe later than expected in this case) I don't know what was promised format wise but there are many technical things that could slow a project to a halt from artist stuff to manufacturing.

These sort of year long investments, Bandcamp subscription services and stuff I think help fulfill more ambitious label goals (like the 10 CD set mentioned above) but personally I dislike the model. It's similar to a preorder but with more room for hiccups. It's more like patronage.
With a label as serious as they seem and reputation as good as there's though I think you can remain confident you will not be ripped off. And while I understand your frustration at that situation, I'd probably advise you to be cautious of any of these preorder and subscription models in the future.
