Issue 124: Barry Gray (Magazine + 7" White)
For this month's Electronic Sound cover feature, we're taking a deep dive into the music of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's sci-fi TV shows, much of it the work of cult British composer Barry Gray. We're bundling the magazine with a superb six-track white vinyl EP featuring some of Gray's classic sci-fi theme tunes and incidental pieces too.
Gerry and Sylvia Anderson produced some of the most exciting children's television of the 1960s and 1970s. The list of their programmes – 'CAPTAIN SCARLET', '…
Il Y A Les Ombres
Laurent Pernice delivers an album of light and shades. “Il y a les ombres” is a sonorous trip to the limits of perception, a place where voices murmur fragmented truths and where instruments, not used in a traditional way, dig the layers of unexplored territories. This new work (of the old member of Nox and current member of Palo Alto) summons the voices of Alan Dalmasio (Palo Alto) Judith Juillerat, Black Sifichi, Heloise Brezillon and Laura Garrato (Magma). This is not only a play of vocal con…

Ouroboros
On Katelyn Clark and Mitch Renaud's Ouroboros astronomical and astrological phenomena, concepts and symbols such as the Great Year or the Eternal Return serve as the starting points for sonic explorations and experimentations.

Working as composers, improvisers and curators in Canada's vibrant…
Fragments + Distancing
2025 stock Available for the first time on our Digistak CD, James Bernard uses his proven and unique efforts in creating ethereal tones on this collection of arrangements. ‘Fragments’ [tracks 1-8] were created by using a method of composition James has been perfecting, where he takes small pieces of unreleased music that he has written stretching over the last 10 years, and runs them through different modes and methods of granular stretching and FFT processing. In some cases, the original audio …
Future Research Journal Entries (Part 1)
UK-based Inhmost (aka Simon Huxtable) makes his Past Inside the Present début with Future Research Journal Entries (Part I), a document of cosmic proportions that offers a journey through weightlessness or, according to the artist, “a time capsule from a forgotten generation of space travelers”. Many of Huxtable’s works, including the collaboration with ASC, The Moons of Saturn (2021), have touched on similar otherworldly themes, but Future Research offers a particular richness of vision that br…

Eve
2025 stock Winter’s most precious gift is its snow-muffled hush. eve, the first full-length collaboration between zakè and Benoît Pioulard, pays tribute to the kind of supernatural December night where fleeting moments of peace manifest in visible exhalations and crystalline silence.

Repetition Hymns
2025 stock Past Inside The Present is pleased to announce Repetition Hymns, a double album from the enigmatic Black Swan. Comprised of 19 vignettes, the relatively short tracks impart a strong forward momentum despite the 80-minute runtime. Repetition Hymns is thus particularly well-suited to the temporal distortion of quarantine, in which each day feels like an endless repeating loop. Our bleeding hearts are in need of drone like never before. In the decade since the release of In 8 Movements, …
