How to make WP_Query not to show irrelevant posts?

Question

I'm using the following WP_Query arguments array:

$args = array(  'post_type' => POST_TYPE,
                            'tax_query' => array(
                                'taxonomy' => TAX,
                                'field' => 'slug',
                                'terms' => TERM
                            ),
                            'posts_per_page' => 2
                        );

The problem is this query displays all the posts from POST_TYPE which have a TAX (any TAX) assigned to them but it's not limiting it to the TERM (particularly one term) taxonomy!
I just want the posts from the specific TERM taxonomy and nothing more!

You're one array short. The tax_query is an array of arrays.

$args = array(  'post_type' => POST_TYPE,
                'tax_query' => array( 
                     array (
                      'taxonomy' => TAX,
                      'field' => 'slug',
                      'terms' => TERM
                     ), 
                 ),
                'posts_per_page' => 2
             );
