Futures: The Mark Trombino Sessions

A set of demos by . (Scroll left/right!)

"Big Cars"

This song never got released, and probably won't ever be. Some have speculated that this song was reworked and became "Big Casino" on Chase This Light.

"Closer"

The demo version of "Closer" was also previously called "Lying Dressed". This ended up on the EP in 2005.

"Drugs or Me"

The early version which was mostly acoustic and had alternate lyrics. There is a simple but heavy ending on this version other demos and the final version don't have. This was supposedly called "Hate The Bliss" in its demo form.

"Nothingwrong"

Jim tries some screaming vocals on the bridge of this version! There is also a long instrumental which was changed in the final mix.

"Disintegration"

The demo version of "Disintegration" was also previously called "Coming Home". This also ended up on the EP in 2005. An even earlier version was played live either as Jim solo or his side project Go Big Casino.

"Sparkle"

This song wasn't changed after this recording, and was a downloadable single (with its own artwork, too). It was also found on the deluxe Japanese version of Futures.

"Jen"

This track was cut for being dangerously similiar to "Pop Goes The World" by Men Without Hats, or so the legend goes.

Alternate Futures Art

This art is found on the back of the Japanese version of the Futures lyric book. It may have been considered for album cover art at one point.

Futures Single

This was the cover art for the "Futures" single, with a limited geographic physical release.

"Yer Feet" (Live)

A B-side from the "Pain" single. This Mohave 3 cover is a live recording and only performed by Jim Adkins. No known studio recording exists, and this was potentially played live just one time (at The Celebrity Theatre, Phoenix, AZ, 2004). This track can be found on the "Pain" Single.

"Drugs or Me" (Live)

Performed by Go Big Casino, a side project by Jim Adkins that was most active around 2000.
