Not necessarily candidates belonging to Best of 2011, however I'm pulling an Occupy Movement...Picked this up a week back, at Texas's biggest music store - FOREVER YOUNG - and the name of Alex Maguire registered - although at the time I hadn't remembered it was from Doubt (the group)...[see follow-up post]



"Maguire’s talents as a keyboardist (and as a leader) are quite diverse. His touch is so personal, and his telepathic conversations with the other musicians in the band explode. There's great chemistry here, and, with performances so brilliant and impossible to predict, the line that divides the written parts from the collective improvisations is often imperceivable." MoonJune Records blurb

This little gem by one more [typically] under the radar Brit group (which includes transplanted New Yorker - Tony Bianco, drums) - and featuring Alex Maguire, keyboards - is a example of this singular oddity:

That is, of no other progressive jazz/rock(?) release initiating matters with Cathedral bells accompanying abstract vocalizing (in this case, by one Richard Sinclair)...
