Well, judging from the download statistics, last week's Terminus post was fairly popular and since it was requested I will go ahead and post the band's first Lp. Still not sure if Boss Tuneage is working on the CD reissue of these records or not but I have faith the folks who download these versions would still want to purchase the re-mastered and re-packaged collection when/if it is released.
Anyway, this 12" also came out on Words of Warning records, back in 1990. It collects songs from various recording sessions in different periods of the band, so the sound is a little uneven, recording quality-wise. This record features a mix of styles - faster numbers similar to the 2nd Lp, mid-tempo rockin' punk tracks and some more somber, anarcho-punk type songs. One of my favorites is "Hey Little Girl," a bouncy punk track with venomous lyrics aimed towards apathetic fashion punks. As with their other material, the lyrics are overtly political and thought provoking. While I don't enjoy this one quite as much as "Back Among the Blind," it's still a great record from a band that really did no wrong as far as I'm concerned.
Terminus - Going Nowhere Fast Lp
Thanx for Terminus!!!!
ReplyDeleteThese guys were great! Kinda flew under the radar and never got the recognition they deserved, I always thought. I don't suppose you have the lyrics for the title song? I wouldn't mind playing it on my guitar but can only remember fragments of it. Thanks for the post.
