"Pspyched (pronounced "spiked") collects tracks from Beggars Banquet's psychedelic post-punk acts from the late '80s and early '90s, including relatively obscure acts like Polyphemus, Sundial, and the Del-Byzanteens. Heavy tracks like Ripe's "Plastic Hassle" and Thee Hypnotics' "Justice in Freedom" allude to these group's roots in garage-psych, while the Icicle Works' "One Time" and Polyphemus' "Scrapbook of Madness" take a jangly, pop approach to psychedelia. Most interesting, however, are the groups that reinvent psych-rock rather than preserve it; Rollerskate Skinny's "Bow Hitchhiker," Mercury Rev's "Young Man's Stride," and Shady's "Sugar, Sugar, Sugar" have just the right blend of melody, noise, and weirdness to qualify as futuristic psych-rock. Pspyched is a fine collection of underrated Beggar's Banquet artists, as well as a portrait of an overlooked style of underground music." ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide

David Baker's post-Mercury Rev project. Highly recommended for fans of Boces. It's out of print now. The album features guest appearances by psych-noise all-stars including Adam Franklin from Swervedriver, Martin Carr from the Boo Radleys, Jimi Shields from Rollerskate Skinny and Lotus Crown, Bill Whitten from St. Johnny and Grand Mal, and Sooyoung Park from Seam.
Review: The Shady project centers around former Mercury Rev member Dave Baker, who pairs with an impressive variety of similarly inclined musicians to write and record World: Martin Carr of the Boo Radleys turns tracks like "Hey Yeah" into sunny, tripped-out psychedelia that's reminiscent of his own Giant Steps, Jimi Shields and Ken Griffin of Rollerskate Skinny turn up (with Shields collaborating quite often), Sooyoung Park of Seam adds more conventional rock textures to a few tracks, and Roxanne Stephen (Th' Faith Healers) and Avy (Sharkboy) chime in as well. Given the recording history of Mercury Rev, it's always been tempting to point to Baker as the darker, more aggressive influence in the band's early songwriting, but World, for the most part, stays away from this; the album has a loose and frequently inventive feel that takes on the pop side of the sounds shared by Mercury Rev, Rollerskate Skinny and Jimi Shields' Lotus Crown project, and the record is, arguably, at its best when Martin Carr's contributions lighten the mix with brighter influences. Probably due to its collaborative approach, World lacks the focus of any of its creators' independent work, and doesn't really compare to the work of any of the aforementioned bands, but it's a fun and generally appealing record that should find a home with fans of Lotus Crown, Rollerskate Skinny or early Mercury Rev. ~ Nitsuh Abebe, All Music Guide

The paths forged by Van Morrison, Thin Lizzy, Rory Gallagher, and U2 opened doors for The Undertones, Sinead O’Connor, My Bloody Valentine & Ash, who in turn left the door open for The Thrills, Snow Patrol, Damien Rice and many others.
This is the first in a series of compilations featuring some the newer, independent artists to emerge from Ireland in recent years."
