Editorial Reviews

A collector's dream! This release contains tracks of rarities, re-mixes, and previously unreleased recordings--of the 16 tracks, 7 are from various compilations or rare single/tour-related releases, and 9 of the tracks are remixes or previously un-issued original recordings. Manna from Heaven Street! Brilliantly re-mastered, "Abandon Tracks!" is a journey into the world of the mastermind himself, Douglas P. The track listing speaks for itself. "Abandon Tracks!" is 70 minutes of pure Death in June; all tracks were re-mastered by Dave Lokan and comes with liner notesnd packaged in a deluxe embossed digipak. World. 2005.

4.0 out of 5 stars We Said Review!... Another DIJ Catch Up Release, August 19, 2005

Yet another release in the large and ever growing discography of Death In June. This time with Abandon Tracks we find a wide open assortment of unreleased tracks or rather hard to find/out of print ones from over a pretty large span of their career. I found this release layed out and packaged quite well (in typical Death In June fashion). I find though that some of the remastered and updated tracks to be so-so and the rest, for myself (a huge fan of DIJ), nothing really exciting due to the fact i practically own all their material inside and out (why i gave it a 4/5). If your a big fan and your missing all those old out of print releases, than this release is for you, but for the occasional fan you problably won't find this release all that great (stick with and purchase some of Douglas's best releases like: Brown Book, But What Ends When The Symbols Shatter, Corn Years and even All Pigs Pigs Must Die for example).

2.0 out of 5 stars For completist mopheads only *sheepish grin*, October 30, 2005

This review is from: Abandon Tracks! (Rarities, Remixes and Original Unreleased Recordings) (Audio CD)

The cover shows Douglas beating a hasty retreat from irate fans confronted by yet another stop gap album to line his pockets. Even Socialist art is more exciting than this dismal offering. I was especially amused to find track 15 sounding like BIKO. It is time for Mr P (for it is he) to stop releasing reductive and pointless old material and start writing some reductive and pointless new material. Preferably with some nifty synth dance rhythms a-la NADA! And a distinct lack of porcine references.

The inside picture shows Douglas looking alarmingly like Eugene Terre-Blanche and seemingly geared to pen some autographs in an empty field of rape, which says a lot.

This is a compilation of obcurities, and there's some fine work here. It shouldn't be judged as anything but. Thanks for listening/reading.
