Another year is drawing to a close. It's time for a summary, a selection of works which have left a mark (and therefore also artists and labels) mentioned on these pages in 2011.
Over 70 titles chosen from thousands of discs, embracing a huge range of genres, a good exercise to remember the year that is leaving.
More and more releases available (both physical and digital versions), usual confirmations, new names on the scene, some pleasant surprises, expectations let down, but never enough time to catch up on what's going on.
Anyway, here we are. Perhaps you might have missed some of these...
