It took seven long years, but in 2006 Friendly Psychics Music finally got around to collecting the best tracks from the first half decade of its existence, from the hard-edged rock of Tarantula Dinner Party (“Black Suit Radar”) and the Midwestern indie pop of Dishwater Psychics (“Broken Feet”) to more low-key, acoustic affairs such as Wicked Immigrant and Upstate, and the nightmarish soundscapes and absurdist lyrics of Bullet Gastino. If you want to hear the best output from this massive, long-distance home recording collective’s formative years, this is it.

Friendly Psychics Music’s second best-of compilation shows the label’s progression from a loose, mid-fi band of friends and musicians to tightly-honed and focused, yet still impressively diverse, group of recordings. Label co-founders Dan Miller and Chris Jones step out on their own with solo projects (Derecho and A Surplus of 1, respectively), while Dishwater Psychics presents its most compelling work to date. Electronics and synthesizers also take a big step forward with Brainswarm and Unified Alarm System, and the ‘90s indie-folk troubadours
The Circuit Riders reunite for a few tracks.
