yes, the channel is active indeed.

However, the two studio albums and the Opel compilation are still not available in the music platform of YouTube Music.

I believe I read somewhere that Gilmour is responsible for a distribution of Syd's solo material on the internet. Don't forget, for example that Gilmour regularly sent Syd money from the Pink Floyd royalties as long as Syd was alive.
