HG Fortune's Nearly Forgotten Gems

[Jimmy Edwards]

Hey guys, I stumbled upon a website this morning that seems to have a shi**-load of older HG Fortune VST's, and they are apparently free.
The list is quite impressive, but my concern is are they pirated, or are they legit. I did a quick visit to the HG website, but found no mention of them there.
If they are free for the taking, Im gonna grab 'em all, but I don't wanna rip anyone off. Any ideas?
Some of the programs look to be ideal for ambient production, and one can NEVER have enough, but I want to keep my Karma card clear.
Thanks!!

If on archive.org - they're legit, HG himself uploaded them some time ago.

Yeah, I saw this on That Other Forum and picked them up - I own Astral Dreamer and The Tiger, and now with all his lder stuff it's quite the huge pool of sound sources. Good catch!

yeah, I'm just gob-smacked that they would be so nice as to put all that stuff out there. Plenty of good stuff.

Yes, hopefully the NFG's give him some exposure and people will pick up a few of his paid plugs so he can make even more.
