The Past of the Future is the third studio album by Slovak musician Karol Mikloš, released on May 20, 2008. Issued by Deadred Records, the set was distributed in the neighboring Czech Republic through Starcastic Records, and virtually by Music Kickup. As such, the work followed the pattern of his previous release Vis-à-vis (2002), in which Mikloš began his gradual transition into the electronic circles. Unlike its predecessor, The Past of the Future featured a live instrumentation.
