Back from Infest and to normal life again, and I feel like I could do with sleeping for a week.

/Welcome to the Future /293 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 08-Aug 2025
A quieter release period this time around, although a good number of autumn releases are currently being announced. Next week I’ll be at the relocated Infest in Manchester, for my 25th visit to the festival (including two online versions) – expect coverage on /amodelofcontrol after the event. In the meantime, my /Tuesday Ten series reaches […]
/Welcome to the Future /291 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 04-Jul 2025
Another roundup of the best new music recently released or announced, with a bit of a slowdown as we head into the summer lull. 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 […]
/Tuesday Ten /586 /Tracks of the Month /Apr-25
Back from a busy Bank Holiday weekend, and it turns out, a busy April for new music.
/Welcome to the Future /288 /Events, Livestreams and New Releases 02-May 2025
Another Bandcamp Friday, another overflowing inbox… 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 sends me new music and events, keeps me up […]
/Countdown/2010s/Tracks /180-161
Continuing the process of wrapping up the last decade before it disappears too far into the rearview mirror, this is the second part of the best tracks of the 2010s. This has been an interesting, and memory-laden trip doing this list. I’ve dredged up a few memories, reconnected with a few songs I’d not heard […]
/Tuesday Ten/394/Tracks of the Month/Jan-20
The new year has started well for new music. In fact very well, as all kinds of new music has been flying at me from all directions, or so it feels. Which is why this week has more than ten songs – I finally stopped at sixteen – and I suspect that future /Tracks of […]
/Welcome to the Future/108/Events, gigs and new release round-up/06-Dec 2019
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/377/Tracks of the Month/Jul 2019
Another busy month concludes with the best music I’ve been listening to across it. Working from home – and spending a fair amount of my time on calls, rather than my old work which was very different – has rather changed the dynamic of how I listen to music, and arguably I have less time […]
/Welcome to the Future/092/Events, gigs and new release round-up/26-Jul 2019
It’s Friday, therefore time for 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 artists and music that I cover here.
/Transmission/004/the a-z of industrial/c/part two
The fourth part of Transmission, the a-z of industrial. This continues our look at industrial bands beginning with “c”, and this time concentrates on the newer bands – and this time there are things we needed to say.
/Countdown/2017/Albums
Onto week three of Countdown: 2017 on amodelofcontrol.com, and this week I’m looking at the best albums of the year. Despite the move towards, it seems, streaming services and a more disjointed approach to listening, I still find that the albums of the year “award” remains the more important one, and it’s why it comes […]
Tuesday Ten: 307: Tracks of the Month (August 2017)
Autumn is inching into view? At least it feels like from the weather, anyway. And as we move into September, the end of the summer (and the end of quieter trains into work, too), here are this month’s tracks of the month.
Welcome to the Future: 006: Music news round-up 04-August 2017
There have been a few comments recently about how difficult it is to keep up with new releases, new tours, and general music news (I have the same problem) – particularly in the UK, as various sites in Europe and North America are already pretty good for this in our scene. (Release Magazine in Europe, […]
/Tuesday Ten/177/Tracks of the Month/May-13
Into a new month, so time for my usual roundup of great tracks from the past month.
