/Countdown/2014/Albums
Week three of the amodelofcontrol.com roundup of 2014, and this is, I guess, the big one. The albums of the year.

Finally, in December, I can start the process of seeing the back of 2014. But before it does end, here on amodelofcontrol.com it is time to run down the year in music, with the usual four Tuesday posts that begin with the year’s best compilations and reissues, then onto the best tracks of the year […]
A bit later than usual – Whitby and general life issues rather got in the way – and this of course will be the last new tracks roundup of 2014, as I’ll be doing the best of 2014 lists from early December as usual. And this is the first of two posts this morning.
This week on amodelofcontrol.com, we’ve caught up with Jared Louche of Prude, previously Chemlab and a few other bands besides, over e-mail, to talk about his current band, music past and present and god only knows what else. He did warn he that he might have a lot to say.
Back in the UK again, after the fun and games in Chicago, it is time to return to the normal routine.
Talk about building anticipation. Jared Louche’s new project Prude – and this album – has been coming for a long, long time. How long? Well, darkroom was on a Glitch Mode compilation back in 2008, and that track appears here. Ok, so the project seemed to have been on hiatus for a while, until last […]
After a couple of lean months, suddenly I’ve been deluged with new music worth writing about. I’m strict about keeping the Tracks of the Month list to ten, though, so some may be held off until next month.
Sean Payne’s Cyanotic have always been more than their reputation suggests. The first thing most people think of – that know of them at least – is their intense fusions of drum’n’bass, industrial and metal that have been the core of all of their signature songs. But all the way since they first started, the […]
Another trip to Autonomy, for my last DJ slot of the year.
A return trip to the lunacy of JUDDER!.
Saturday saw us in Leicester for Autonomy, which was good fun (and a hard-dance-free zone, too)
There has been so much good music this year – as well as a few stinkers, frankly, but let’s not dwell on those, at least for now – that for the first time ever in a year roundup I’ve stretched this one out to cover 25 songs, and I’ve still had to miss a couple […]
A good night overall, a few technical niggles notwithstanding. Either way, great to see everyone, and also to catch up with the guys from Inertia for the first time in what feels like a long time! There are various photos from the night online as always, click on the photo to the left. It was […]
This month’s ten tracks I think you should hear.
Autonomy was the first time that I had ever used my laptop (and Virtual DJ) to DJ with, rather than my CDs. With intelektchrist elsewhere, and our less-experienced cohort DJ Annie [Candy Acid] initially unavailable also (she agreed to assist for part of the night in the end), I was left with the prospect of […]
So today marks the last part of my rundown of the decade’s music. Next week will be the usual rundown of the month’s best tracks, and then I’ll be starting at some point after that with a rundown of the 90s in a similar style – after all, this autumn marks twenty years since I […]
It’s three years now since I first came across this artist, on the Glitch Mode compilation H0rd3z Ov Thee El33t!, as one of many artists that I first heard there that I thought “hmm, must check them out again sometime”. Some vanished, others I went and bought the albums. This was one, I’ll admit, that […]
What an odd night last night turned out to be. Autonomy was, so it felt, busier than it has been in a while (I suspect Leicester Pride yesterday had something to do with it), and the crowd were certainly up for dancing. As for my DJ sets, the setlists are below, and for once I […]
The first half of a barking weekend that saw me at Sonisphere the following day…
And now individual tracks..
