An update on the last ten years of psych releases?

I've been frozen inside a block of ice for the last ten* years or so, Adam Adamant style. Now that I am back in the real world again, I'm wondering what weird and wonderful rediscoveries in the world of psych I've missed. What are the best comps from the last ten years? Any super cool long lost acetates that you just have to hear? I'm just getting familiar with the "Love, Poetry and Revolution" box set and it's a real treat! Any other recommendations, be it bands or comps or whatever floats your psychedelic boats?

* (Ten years is perhaps stretching it a bit. It's probably closer to 5 or 6 years...).

'Electric Sound Show' 5 vol box on Particles is very good.

'Hello Everyone - Pop psych sparks from Denmark St'...a Spark records anthology on
Grapefruit records is superb...
...almost as good is the Chapter One label anthology...'Shapes and Shadows', also
on Grapefruit

Thanks a lot, painterman. I've had my eyes on 'Hello Everyone' as I really like the two Spark volumes of the 'Electric Lemonade Acid Test' LPs. Will check out that Chapter One anthology as well!

Boris, I just remembered someone asked the very same question a while back on
here and you'll find a bounty of suggestions on this page...
