I LOVE futurism! But this live version ("Spectrum") is just akward, wierd and not so good. But the bassline is Genius! And the guitar in the "new" version is admirable(equal to cool, awesome, fantastic).
Why would this song be hard to pull off live compared to their newer stuff? Or even other of their old stuff? It's clearly just a very early version (the song itself/lyrics and the name have changed), they would have no trouble pulling this off now with better gear.
This song didn't make the album because Matt really struggled with is live, high vocal strain, i always dismissed this as the reason, now i realize it's true.
It didn't make it cuz' they didn't think it would fit in on Origin of Symmetry! So, it was relaesed as a bonus track for the Japanese version of the album!
Matt's voice is hot now but it was even hotter when he was younger (maybe he finally hit puberty!) I love his voice in 'Unintended' on "Showbiz"...love the photo, btw :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
is this seriously even matt singing? I've heard the futurism song but this vocalist doesn't sound like him...where did this play this version of futurism live?
also i included dead star, futurism yes please, forced, yes please, map of your head and hyper chondriac music. cant believe none of these mentioned were on an official album. hullabaloo wasnt an album btw it was a soundtrack to the dvd
i made an album for muse called futurism using all theyre awesome b sides such as the proper recording of this. list i made was in your world, house of the rising sun, the groove, pink ego box, cant take my eyes off u, jimym kane, please let me get what i want, host
Oh dont worry about the picture its the only thing i could think of adding to the song to make it more interesting, although i do think Matt does have a strange obsession with soap.
Was in my "Youtube suggests", awesome !

If you put Futurism between Feeling Good and Megalomania, like the Japanese bonus edition, it fits pretty well.

Muse is the best band in existance, no doubt^^
But I really don't like this version. Futurism is one of the best songs with a killer-bassline, but they seem very awkward in the early one.
I must confess, i hate Matts voice here. It's the only song of them I really dislike
