Operation Hummingbird is a studio album by Death In June, released in 1999. The album contains seven new songs recorded with Albin Julius of Der Blutharsch. It is considered a smaller, sister album to Take Care & Control.
Operation Hummingbird is a great album that is so divergent from Death in June's normal style. The musical score is richer and the synth/sample fusion that Albin Julius whipped up makes these tracks seem like club tunes rather than DIJ. While the lyrics are far more simple and less contemplative or introverted than normal DIJ albums, it does not detract from its greatness. Two years prior to the release of this album at a DIJ show I witnessed Douglass Pierce stop a scuffle in the bathroom at Man Ray in Boston and he exclaimed "I just want to make groovy music man!". Well I guess this album is testament to this. This album is catchy, not too serious and a great listen for fans and others alike.
