The Terminals Singles & Sundries (Vinyl)

2014 collection of rare ’90s singles from the New Zealand-based Inide act.The Terminalsare smack in the center of all that is great about New Zealand music. Members of the group have connections to the Renderers,Scorched Earth Policy,the Axemen,the Pin GroupandDadamah, and the list goes on from there. They bridge the gap between the free-form sprawl of their improvising peers and the melodic beauty ofFlying Nun’spoppiest groups. The result is a ripcord of rock which sounds vital, intense and fomenting with menace. Collected here for the first time are the singles. Released throughout the 1990s, these songs are the band’s finest moments. The greatness of the Terminals comes from their mastery and their ability to achieve such a powerful effect with the music they’ve created. Their music throws an intelligence into the dark and structure onto the dangerous. For anybody looking at a roadmap to New Zealand music, the songs on SINGLES & SUNDRIES are essential vantage points.
