“Dunedin’s fleeting music scenes have been well documented in compilation [The Dunedin Double EP, Xpressway Pile=Up etc.]. TEMPORARY, an overview of Dunedin’s lo-fi and melodic post-punk roster, sits comfortably in this canon…Get hold of a copy and keep it safe…” The Listener (NZ)
“This is simply a truly great record, more than a mere sampler. 9/10” Norman Records (UK)
" every track strong enough to have earned its place... these are bands making startling alternative pop records" Sunday Star Times (NZ)
“each track its own tightly contained mini-masterpiece… a must-listen for any after musical expansion.” Get Into This (UK)
“The variety refreshes, and makes one long for the days when such compilations introduced new talent unafraid to take risks.” PopMatters (USA)
“We found ourselves wanting to hear more from pretty much every band here, which is a rarity with comps and makes this one, very very recommended!” Aquarius Records, San Francisco
