/Tuesday Ten /528 /Tracks of the Month /May-23
2023 has continued to be a solid year for quality releases, and trying to keep this list down to ten (or this month eleven) is increasingly hard.
/Welcome to the Future /248 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 02-Jun 2023
What I thought was a quieter week for music turns out to be anything but. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from this website and others, and also a catchup of what I’ve posted recently. Thanks to everyone who […]
/Welcome to the Future /247 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 19-May 2023
Another Friday, another roundup. I’ve begun catching up on upcoming events (a host were added this week, with more to come), and as always there are more new releases this week. This post is a roundup of (relevant to this site) new and upcoming music, a nod to upcoming events and livestreams both from this […]
/Welcome to the Future/198/Events, Livestreams and 2022 New Releases round-up
Into 2022 and the cold, grey January, and on the first Friday of 2022, it is time for my traditional round-up of what we know about (relevant) new music coming your way in 2022. What do I mean by relevant? Broadly, that means music I might cover here, which to be honest, these days, covers […]
/Welcome to the Future/154/Livestreams and new release round-up/04-Dec 2020
Into the last month of this bizarre, weird year – and this weekly release and events roundup keeps on going. There is still new music to enjoy, hence why I continue these Friday posts. The events listing is still being updated, but obviously, an awful lot is being postponed, cancelled or changed right now.
/Transmission/022/the a-z of industrial/n/part two
We’re continuing our journey through the a-z of industrial with a first look at the letter N. Needless to say this was recorded during the ongoing lockdown…
/Countdown/2010s/Albums /100-81
The additional downtime at the moment has had one or two benefits for me – more of a chance to get my head down and get a few outstanding posts completed. I’m painfully aware that aside from regular /Tuesday Ten posts (and /Tuesday Ten/402 will follow tomorrow), I’ve not been posting as much as I’d […]
/Countdown/2019/Tracks
Onto week two of /Countdown/2019 on amodelofcontrol.com, and this week I’m looking at the best tracks of the year. These might be the singles, they might be album tracks, they might be one-offs. But all of them are songs I love in one way or another, and they aren’t all necessarily songs that fall within […]

Back to the usual routine of weekly Friday posts, containing new music or events to consider. This is the usual amodelofcontrol.com round-up, of new music coming your way this week and soon, as well as a look at the events and gigs in the future, and finally nods to any other notable news that affects […]

/Tuesday Ten/349/Tracks of the Month/Oct 2018
One last month of 2018 where I’m wrapping up new music, and it’s been an interesting set of songs that I’ve been sifting through this month. Not everything was able to be included, to be honest, as for once I decided to stick with a maximum of ten songs. Also, lookout for a second Tuesday […]
/Tuesday Ten/325/40 Years of The Cure – Their Influence in Covers
In December, The Cure mark 40 years since the release of their first single, Killing An Arab (based, of course, on elements of L’Étranger (The Stranger) by Albert Camus). And this June, Robert Smith of The Cure is curating the line-up at (a frankly epic) Meltdown this summer for the 25th Anniversary of that festival, […]
Welcome to the Future: 018: Music news round-up 03-November 2017
Back after a week away at Whitby, we return once again to the now-usual Friday round-up of new music, upcoming releases, events worth looking out for and other musical news stories I might have noticed in the meantime.
Welcome to the Future: 014: Music news round-up 29-September 2017
It has, to be fair, been a tough week. The loss of an old friend has hit a number of us surprisingly hard, but the happy memories being posted in the past few days have helped an awful lot. That and illness doing the rounds has made for a slog of a week that at […]
/Countdown/2016/Tracks
Part two of my 2016 round-up is being posted from Los Angeles, so hello from there.
Talk Show Host: 022: NOIR
For the latest interview on amodelofcontrol.com, Athan Maroulis – nowadays performing under the NOIR name – kindly gave up his time to discuss his current project and his musical past.

Playlists: Spotify YouTube SoundCloud 2016 in Review: 257: Tracks (Apr) 254: Tracks (Mar) 251: Tracks (Feb) 248: Tracks (Jan) Nearly half way through the year, and the great new music keeps coming thick and fast. Indeed, various announcements of new material this past week suggest the rest of the year should continue to be very […]
/Countdown/2013/Albums
Part four of my 2013 rundown – and this was a difficult list to do. Very difficult. And for the first time in a number of years, it took until the last week to finally decide once and for all on the top five in particular.
Tuesday Ten: 185: Tracks of the Month (September 2013)
It’s been a really busy month – hence a relative lack of posting this past month, and no Tuesday Tens since last month’s roundup.
