The last /Tracks of the Month of the year has come around quickly – from the beginning of December, of course, I’ll be posting /Countdown /2025 over four weeks as I look at the best music of the year.
I was last at Resistanz in 2014, ending three straight years of attending the festival, with various other life commitments (and Whitby, more often than not) meaning it hadn’t been possible for us to return for some time. But, when certain bands got announced this year, a plan was quickly hatched, and we found ourselves […]
Welcome to /Countdown/2024 – this year’s wrap-up of the best new music that I’ve heard across the year, and the 21st anniversary of me starting to do such annual roundups (which began on LiveJournal before moving to this site). I begin as usual, with the best compilations and reissues in no particular order, although it […]

A chaotic week means a delayed post today, but there’s still a fair bit to cover.

A new year, and a new look for my posts on /amodelofcontrol.com, for the most part, a case of tidying up things and getting a cleaner style.
The eighth part of Transmission, the a-z of industrial. This continues our look at industrial music, and is this week continuing all about bands beginning with “g”.
After as usual a month or two off from this – new releases are thin on the ground at the end of the year anyway, and the end-of-year lists (start here if you missed them) take up a lot of time – it’s time to get back to telling you, the reader, about some of […]
