A few words about each band.

The Holsteins: How could you not love them? They are like extra thick chocolate milkshakes that don't make you fat.

Popshop: Sweden's finest indie pop stars.

UK Heights and Clare Begley: Clare cleans up with this collaboration.

Osmosis: It's indisputable mixture of haunting ballads and more up tempo, indie sounding tracks that have all the ingredients of success.

Cord: Have nothing to say, but they moan a lot.

Curious Oyster: Taken from the CD Horse Feathers, released on 25 Records, Curious Oyster are back on form.

Marine Time Keepers: This is our soapbox about life and how people should treat each other.

Red Ash and the Love Commandos: In a world of pain and suffering, we praise god and count our blessings, then out of the blue; some bitch turns up and says Say what?

Monitor Liz: From outer space Monitor Liz roll, sing deep, crank up guitars, do huge melodies and that's before they land on planet earth. [Currently living in Belfast]

Famous Sons: Is best listened to whilst sitting on the roof of an open-top car navigating its way through the twists and spikes of Parkstone's wildest terrain while the sun beats down

Robert Bevan: We are a blend of the erotic and the obscene, of happiness and dispersion.

Spindrift: We feel that a good melody turns good music into a great song.

The Soul Sound 3: They play a dangerous game, but I'm not sure of what.

The Hamptons: Basically catchy pop/rock with a wry twist and very British.

Otherworld: Some of their material has benn described as the Pink Floyd of the 90's.

The Dead in Christ: Take their influences from Doomsday Cult leaders and Serial Killers. All good Irish boys at heart.

Garfields Birthday: Formed in 1995 to write and record melodic guitar based pop songs.

Walking Wounded: From the ash trays of the perimeter Walking Wounded play prolific multi-faceted originals.

Parkstone Dub Foundation: Hoooooooorid people have they are as dubby as Steps. Hey we like Steps!

The Original Sin

I suppose I have to congratulate Mark from 25 Records twice... First of all, he gets my prize for what must be the most disgusting record sleeve I've ever seen!!! What will you explain to your little nephew if he discovers a sleeve that shows a naked bum and... believe me, it's the most extraordinary bum you'll ever going to see!!! But most important, in that I have to congratulate him too as this is by far the best compilation-CD 25 Records has ever released!!! Not only there are some of my fave unsigned bands included on here, but 21 tracks long the quality level goes from "quite OK" to "outstanding". The flyers you see may mention the word "indiecompilation" but that's only a part... this is more a popcompilation that has lots of different types of music on it. I guess you already know what 25 Records is all about. On a very frequent base Mark releases compilation-CD's and they all have one thing in common : "unknown, unsigned..." and for some you can use the words "the future"... I'm not going to comment each track but I'll give you my fave ones (...and that must be 3/4 of the CD...). The CD kicks in with The Holsteins (superb indie with great female vocals), Popshop (they're from Sweden and before reading this I was thinking of The Cardigans, although Darling Buds are a reference as well!!!), Osmosis (indiefolk with Beth Orton-like vocals), Cord (very experimental guitarmusic), Curious Oyster (who must be the most underrated band ever...extremely Cocteau Twins-like) Marine Timekeepers (Blueboy and Field Mice-pop...so yeah, extremely Sarahpop!), Red Ash And The Love Commandos (their fave song must be Bros' "When will I be famous?" as each track they release is an instant classic!), Monitor Liz (I suppose it's kind of cool to be compared with Devo, not?), Robert Bevan-Jones (a singer-songwriter who's aware that for such a genre his weapon must be a very good song), The Soul Sound 3 (there's more from Wigan than just The Verve), The Dead In Christ (it may be a gothic-like band's name but it's more something like The Gang Of Four!) and finally there is the mellow indiesounds from Garfield's Birthday... And with this alone, I only mentioned the extremely good tunes on here!!! And hey ho...a special offer too...if you write to 25 Records and you mention the name of this zine in your letter, you'll get it for 5 pounds only...

The Exclusive

25 records are back again, this time with a five - band compilation where each band plays for 15 miniuites An original concept but then 25 Records are not your usual label. Red Ash and The Love Commandos open proceedings with 4 tracks of their slanted take on keyboard based pop, then Joone throw in some pure indie pop (and for once that tag describes their male female vocal sound perfectly). USN give us 15 minutes of their Siouxsie and The Banshees sound a like new wave. Then Pete Lewis plays guitar pop but is a bit too MOR for me, and finally Red Vision Shores end with 3 tracks of alt rock. For me, USN stand out the most but for a fiver you just can't go wrong.

Blag

Starts off with a excellent track by Belfast's power pop fivesome The Holsteins entitled "Medicine" and continues with more female fronted bands producing excellent songs, in the vain of commercial material. By Track Five and its getting more off the wall with Cord and the Curious Oyster number "Imprint" is a true gem. Their is a lot of new music just waiting to be discovered and this comp goes a little way in trying to bring it to the surface, with 21 tracks waiting for your ears it isn't a bad investment. There is a lot of versatility on this album with new-wave, rockpop, dub, dark tecno, indie, and quite a few Lou Reed 'e' vocalists, no not a stars in their eyes please!

OOER, MISSUS

A brand new sparkling compilation from Dorset featuring a whole bunch of bands -most of which sound nothing like Machine Head, Marylin Manson or Pram of Shit (oops, I meant Cradle of Filth). Mind you considering the style of music featured, the cover is certainly a little on the crude side. Anyhow, The Holsteins kick things off in a St Ettiene sort of way, followed quickly by Sweden's Popshop, who remind me of Brighton's soon-to-be-big Fruit Machine - fey, guitar-driven female-fronted pop - but it's probably Cord who steal the show here, with their American lo-fi, Beck-like dirge, followed by The Hamptons Bolan-esque little ditty, "Don't Bypass My Heart". This won't appeal to all you grind-core lovers out there, but lads, it might give you some cred with your heavy metal-hating girlfriend, so think about investing in a copy.

Exhibit B on why cover art is irrelevant to review writing,: a sliced-open cadaver. And the writing on the cover! That font is more hideous than death. Plus band names like OSMOSIS and THE DEAD IN CHRIST Hmmmmm. Any bets? Well your probably wrong. The first track, The Holsteins 'Medicine' is a fine guitar pop choon with layers of female vocals.

Track two, Popshop's 'Of Venus sent' is more of the same, sort of. Cherry pop with acoustic and electric guitars and layers of female vocals. Would make a god damn fine single on its own. Cord starts off with a distorted drum loop so fine I'm off to sample it now for my own personal use . . . the whole song is distorted with typical 90's Brit swagger. Real hands in corduroys nodding to the floor digits.

Curious Oyster's 'Fur' comes on with an orchestra of drum machine bobbles and them digital effected guitars and looping bass. They have a working knolodgy of the gospel of The Coucoteau Twins and maybe Siouxsie too [must I say again how little I know about her?!]. Drum machine, effected guitar, pretty female vocals. Sounds like an interesting recipe. I'd buy a single from 'em shit.

Monitor Liz goes totally Numan on @Ian McMartian. Buzzing analogue synchs with live drumming. And vocal that of been recorded in a crowded cardboard box. Guitars that kick in the chorus. Highly awesome! Robert Bevan Jones does a mid 70's soft rock ballad type thing, which is terrifying. you can hear the orange shag carpet in the recording, somewhere between the organ swells. Yikes!

The Hamptons sound like a real band on 'Don't by pass my heart' with a chorus not a million miles removed from that 'Freak of the week' song I keep hearing at work when they have the alternative station on. Otherworld sound like a chorus of acoustic guitars and pianos and drums and singers, it's kind of startling actually. The instramention is fussy and over the top in a way that would guarantee them instant fame in Canada, where such things are covered.

The Dead in Christ's 'Lorena Bottit [where is your smile]' is crudely recorded 2 note metal drone action. the echo effect on the vocals make it sound like it was recorded at an amusement park attraction where you can go in and make a karaoke tape for ten bucks.

Walking Wounded are frightenly good musicians. 'The Gypsy Dance' is pure Moroccan violin, bass and hand procession. With harmonica too! If they walked around London playing this stuff, they would be constantly pelted with spare change. They could pay their rent in spare change. 'Four colours for you' is a ballardy deal with accordion and acoustic guitar and singing. Sounds like a Mediterranean Pogues. But what the fuck do I know?

. . .So what's up with that fucking CD cover anyway????

ZABADAK

21 tracks in total with 19 different up and coming acts...and so ready or not here we goes. First four tracks (all sung by females) are fine even if not completely earth shattering...The Holsteins (a Belfast quintet) provides youthful sounding Belly / Velocette / Blondie pop via 'Medicine , Sweden's Popshop with 'Of Venus Sent' create similar sweet exuberant Belly / Velocette / Lush sounds - fine guitar...shoe gazing...in fact good, then a collaboration between U.K. Heights & Clare Begley 'Coming Clean' - more mature sounds here - folk, Osmosis 'Now I Can Fly' back to the sounds of youth...a sort of mix of folk & indie.

Of the rest - well much of it is pleasant and the standard is maintained...high points are Curious Oyster and 'Imprint' another lush female vocalist...interesting backing effects inspired by Cocteau Twins, Marine Time Keepers 'When Will You Realise That I Care?' a sultry sexy female vocal with thoughtful gentle backing, Red Ash & The Love Commandos 'Say What' an amusing tale via a very English sounding male voice & female responses, The Soul Sound 3 'Movie Star' a sort of cross between The Left Banke & Led Zep, Otherworld from South Wales provide two tracks in the uptempo poppy 'Sing Form' and a moving ballad 'Stay' (Stereophonics or Southern Sons springs to mind) and surprises. Low points are Cord 'Ordinary' which it is, and The Dead In Christ 'Lorena Bobbit (Where Is Your Smile)' which sounds like Backwater on a wet day.

Generally the standard is very high even with the assortment of unknown names...they all manage to create something interesting - the whole fits together nicely - never underestimate these smaller labels - the beautiful sounds contained herein are testament to that.

You can buy copies of this CD at the special readers price of only £5 including post, (euro) cheques made payable to 25 Records - but you need to mention Zabadak. Address: 25 Records, P.O. Box 3008, Poole, BH12 2HU, UK...www.lds.co.uk/25records

The 1/2 Creeper

25 Records continues to put out compilation CD's. The latest one to be added to the collection is "Ooer Missus". Previous releases were heavy in cotton candy pop music that was sweet to taste. This release, while still being a good album, lacks the memorable songs. Still, this album has some fine moments, The Holsteins, Popshop, Osmosis and the ever present Red Ash & The Love Commandos... they make it all worth while. I still favour "Obvious" and "15 Minutes", they feature the style of music that has made me love 25 Records. On a side note, 25 Records are interested in hearing your demos...bands get in touch!

Here Be Monsters

Another full to brimming dive into the world of unknown-ish Indie hopefuls - and it's great to see and hear more Girlies this time round !! Twenty One bands in 74 mins - good and bad natch, and if you were gonna press me for the best I'd say CORD for Digital Hardcore experimentation and THE DEAD IN CHRIST for their strange fuzzabilly "Lorena Bobbit (Where Is Your Smile)".

The French Connection

Such a strange cover is maybe not the best thing to make this album play everywhere. I must admit I was surprised to see it. But the most important is the content no? For sampler album, it's also a big surprise. It's not heavy metal, hard rock or any kind of extreme metal. Ooer, Missus shows various rock band. It's more pop song brilliantly sung by a female singer for The Holsteins & Popshop , some rock ballads liek Texas did & all stuffs like that. Sometimes there's good guitars parts with a few distortion, sometimes it's only clearer guitars. I don't think this kind of album can be listen to by classic metal fans. Anyway, if you like good rock music, this sampler is quite interesting & it's definitly not bands with commercial attitude.

BB

You know Mark at 25 Records constantly amazes me. He seems to be able to bring out compilation albums at a phenomenal rate, and whats more 99.9% of the bands that he features on them are not only worthy of getting material released, but also new names to me as well.

So how does 'Ooer, Missus' shape up to the reputation that proceeds it. Well the answer, is simple - pretty damn well. 21 tracks of fine fettle, is one way of describing it all, with bands such as The Holsteins, Popshop, Cord, Famous Sons and the remarkably monikered The Dead In You, all standing out as the cream of a very good crop of cool new bands. Not so sure on the cover though, we could have done with out that really, still it's the music that matters, and that above everything else, is what shines through the best. If you write for more details, then please mention BB.Zine, as I am reliably informed that our readers get a bit of a discount, which can't be bad, can it?

Dorset Evening Echo

Somewhat closer to home, if the boy/girl/slug/alluvial deposit in your life is more interested in the development of the now deep-underground guitar-based pop scene, you could do a lot worse than to invest in a copy of Ooer Missus, the latest compilation CD from the Poole-based label 25 Records (copies are available for a mere £5 including postage - if you mention that you read this review in the Dorset Evening.

Housed in a genuinely revolting but admirably imaginative sleeve, Ooer Missus is chiefly of interest to Echo readers because it features a rather fine track (Ambulance) by Weymouth's very own Garfield's Birthday (who are so popular in this office that someone has half-inched our file picture of the band) sounding a lot like Bandwagonesque- era Teenage Fanclub - and there can surely be no greater praise.

I was also mightily impressed by scruffy Blondie-alikes The Holsteins from Belfast, Sweden's Popshop (shades of Fruit Machine and The Cardigans) and The Dead In Christ, who sound like The Cramps in a wind tunnel.

Framsidan pa cd-konolutet ar hur grasligt som helst med en naken kvinnlig byst som det verkar vara nagot fel pa, for att inte tala om baksidan...huga! Inte vackert alls. Detta skulle kunna vara en sjuk samling med hemsk depprock eller deathmetal. Men se detta stammer inte. Mark Rigler som ligger bakom denna samling har plockat samman ett antal nya brittiska pop - och rockband. Vi far aven stifta bekanskap med ett par irlandska.

Det finns alltid nagra svagheter I sadana har sammanhang. De flesta av banden borde ha agnat mer tid at sin musik I replokalen, och de flesta har ocksa mycket riktigt langt kvar innan man kan saga att det ar dags att ge ut deras material pa skiva. Men, det var ju ocksa sa har band som Catatonia och The Cranberries borjade.

Jag hittar nagra overraskningar bland alla falsksjungande flickor - majoriteten av banden har falsksjungande sangerskor. Curious Oyster har vissa kvaliteer och de paminner mig om gang som Lush, Moonshake och namnda The Cranberries med en viss gotisk (huh!) betoning Charmigast och bast ar de mer lagmalda och ansprakslosa bidragen fran Walesgruppen Garfield's Birthday, inledande Belfastband et The Holsteins och akustiskt klingande Marine Time Keepers, som faktiskt far mig att minnas tillbaka till gamla fina Marine Girls med Tracey Thorn I nuvarande Everything But The Girl.

Music Dish

A collection of UK goodies, and I must, say, yes, they Are good. Let's start with the sex kitten sounds of Popshop's "Of Venus Sent". They're from Sweden, sound young, and their harmonies are what the Bangles might do if they could come forward in time.

One of the greatest things about 90's bands is their ability to keep coming up with funny or stupid band names. So, folks, on samplers, I head for the silliest names first, then work my way back. That's why even though it's track 18, I flipped over to Garfield's Birthday and had a listen to their "Ambulance". They are very much like early Who , complete with bopping vocals and loud guitar in your earhole.

The Dead in Christ are next up - on My list - with their "Lorena Bobbit (Where Is Your Smile)". Now, being one of the few people in the world who watched None of the OJ trial, and who fwd's the news whenEver it gets on my tv, I only know vaguely about Bobbit . The vocals on this song don't tell me much either, I can't damn hear them. This one's like a preacher on a box way above the band, yelling into a reverb mic.

Otherworld have 2 songs on this cd. "Sing For Me" is a wonder. Love the large vocals, the wide guitar, the sort of song you could sing across the Grand Canyon to your love, and she'd know what you're saying. Lovely. "Stay" is their ballad which has slow beauty, and a nice lead vocal, but I have trouble making it out the words sometimes.

Walking Wounded also have 2, the first is "The Gypsy Dance" which is just FUN. You want to swing round and round like a Hindi on this one, man. "Four Colours For You" is their #2 (well, track 20) and it's great worldly stuff. A calypso? A tango? I can never get those straight, but it's not made for ass sitting. There's some great stuff on here, certainly worth checking out.

Modern Dance

Completely unannounced, this little gem of a compilation landed on the welcome mat, and I can hear you ask, is it any good? Pretty much of a big yes on that! To be truthful, I was expecting it to be a collection of would-be’s and try hards, all getting nowhere fast, but hell, there’s really great songs on here. The album has 21 tracks in all, none of the bands [I must confess] I’ve heard before, but I will [hopefully] be checking out more of the gear on 25 Records. The first track is Medicine, by The Holsteins, and it’s a very impressive opener indeed. Straight into Of Venus Sent, by Popshop – another female lead singer, and another tight, and slightly heavier sounding Sunday’s style – a hellishly impressive song. The UK Heights and Clare Begley with Coming Clean is another! Hell, how can this stuff like this go unnoticed? A complete change for Cord, with Ordinary, [which is far from Ordinary] bloodly hell, brilliant. To be honest, I really can’t go saying that each track is like a breath of fresh air, and why havn’t I heard of 25 Records before/ But the mix of styles and quality of the production is simply amazing. Monitor Liz is perhaps one of the weaker tracks, but saying that, I’ve heard a damm sight worse on major labels! I tell you what, why don’t you get a check off to them, [telling ‘em I sent you] and judge for yourself. The majorty of the songs/bands on here deserve more.

Innuendo – ray – me

Leaving aside the, er, challenging nude cover art, the umpteenth compilation from Parkstone based 25 Records boasts all of its predecessors’ trademarks – unsigned bands, well used cheap recording and a wealth of styles.

From Flouncy, bouncy guitar based indie [The Holsteins from Belfast and Sweden’s Popshop] to Parkstone’s very own post Acid music hall artists, Red Ash and the Love Commandos; Parkstone’s very own purveyors psychedelic punk, The Famous Sons, [featuring one Dave Sexy] and Parkstone’s very own Dub Foundation, PDF, there is nothing ordinary about Ooer Missus.

There’s quality singer-songwriter [UK Heights and Clare Begley], out there experimentation [Cord], Couteaus-esque trance [Curious Oyster], synth pop [Monitor Liz], bedsit miserablism [Robert Bevan Jones’ Pocket full of Grudges], punkabilly [Dead in Christ] and modern power blues [Soul Sound 3].

It’s a credit to label master Mark Rigler that these compilations continue to appear and attract interest from the likes of John Peel. Punk lives.

Another brick in the 25 compilation wall, "Ooer, missus" will be familiar to anyone who's heard previous offerings. Mainly indie guitar pop of a workmanlike standard, OK but nothing exceptional, spiced up
with the odd gem. In this case, the precious stones are UK Heights with Clare Begly and a Peter, Paul and Mary-ish number, "Coming clean," Cord's badly mis-titled "Ordinary" which is clunking paranoia
