e/The Future (song)

Information
has gloss	eng: "The Future" is a song from Princes 1989 Batman soundtrack, and the final single released from the album. The single was not the album version, but a remixed version by William Orbit. "The Future" was released as a single only in Europe. The standard European 7" single was backed with the album version of "Electric Chair", but on the maxi-single, "Electric Chair" was also remixed by Orbit. Both 12-inch remixes add little to the original versions heard on Princes Batman release. Orbits remix of "The Future" is house-inspired, whereas Princes original is minimalistic and foreboding. Orbit substituted a muted, pulsating beat in place of the original elements of Princes song. Orbit also removed Princes original bassline, synthline, and snippets of sampled dialogue. Neither "The Future" nor its B-side were a hit on the pop or dance floors. Orbit's remixes were not well-received and therefore charted in only one country. This would be the last time Orbit would work with Prince for several years.
