Just catching up on these as they were Xmas presents. Both probably would have been in the 2011 list had I heard them in time.
 Kourosh Yaghmaei Back From The Brink
Fabulous Middle Eastern psych folk/funk/rock.This is from Iran in the pre-revolution 70s era. If you loved the Pomegranates and Googoosh compilations on Finders Keepers or have an interest in Turkish Psych/Anadolu pop you are gonna dig this. Beautiful book/2 cd package on Now Again. Thanks to the Mrs for this bewdy.

Intrusive Incidentalz
I've got Volume 1, the Pontone tape and the epic Memowrekz but this could be their best yet. BBC/Cabs influenced sinister electro sonic smears from deep within a crumbling empire.
