Futile is a promotional EP recorded by British progressive rock band Porcupine Tree in the same sessions as In Absentia but didn't make it onto the album (except in certain cases where some of the tracks were re-released with special editions of In Absentia). The EP was later re-released by the band on their online store Burning Shed as a downloadable album with different tracklist, along with special artwork that buyers could print off and add to a CD case.
