mmm skyscraper i love you (the last 3 minutes)

[hypeless]

always been curious - does the bit comprising of the last three minutes and change have a separate name?

It's a manipulation of a song called "Can U Feel Me?" which is a MKI/MKII-ish song (in the way M.E. is). The full song made its way onto a MKII demo DAT tape, but never an official MKII release. It also appeared on a MKI demo tape.

Did not know that! I've always loved listening to the last 3 minutes~

Thanks for the history lesson! Gave "Can U Feel Me?" another good listen - can't believe I never picked up on that before. Awesome.

I just always called it "Skyscraper Coda". I know about that demo track, though.

[Mike]

Ah yes, Can U Feel Me, reminds me of Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal :P

[unwound floors]

I'd let Karl Hyde feel me.

while he was kneeling before me, he signed my UW Adidas kicks.
true story.

what happened to the post where someone wrote it's called "what would genesis do?". i wish we could "like" posts on here. :p

to me it's the same song, it's permanently part of skyscraper... to me it's the second "movement" in skyscraper. it does have some things in common with "can u feel me?" but to me it's different enough that it's a section of music in its own right rather than an instrumental version of can u feel me, sort of like cherry pie versus rowla or ansum versus little speaker.

I love the last segment of Mmm Skyscraper. Such a wonderful segment on what may be my favorite track on Dubnoass (hard to tell, I love every track on Dubnobass and some songs are competition to that track for my favorite track on Dubnobass).

I've actually given people mixes with just the last 3 minutes, and not because they didnt' like dance music, but moreso because it fit with the mix better than any other standalone track I could think of.

sounds like you have got the kneeling without the signing :)



In general I like the mix between the tracks that are more or less "finished", those are like beautiful bodies - naked, while other tracks leave something left to the fantasy. Every time I hear the last minute of boy,boy,boy I get a feeling that the song wants to continue in a different mode of expression, just like mmm Skyscraper do on Dubnobass. I love it. Sex sells easily and I love to dance and party but I´m also a woman.
(woman incitement = flesh < mind/fantasy) as you know

Resurrecting an old thread just to say now we know it's called 'After Sky/, right? :)

[purlieu]

The way this started out as Can You Feel Me?, became After Sky, then ended up on the end of Skyscraper is a really nice example of how they develop tracks, and one of the reasons UW's music is so utterly fascinating, more than most bands. I could honestly listen to another five discs of unreleased jams and demos from Dubnobass just to connect more dots in my head. I love the shared DNA of Skyscraper and Dirty Epic through the strings on Dirty.

Well, "After Sky" is really more of a literal description (it comes "after Mmm Skyscraper") of what it is, rather than a proper song name, which Rick often does. On that same Dubno deluxe disc, a few similar examples would be "Dirty Ambi Piano", "Eclipse version", "Alt Cowgirl C69 mix". Those aren't proper titles, but rather descriptions.

So, if you have to give it a name, I'd still go with some derivative version of "Can U Feel Me?"

[ultradave]

Mmm. After Sky, Can U Feel Me? ;)

[Andrea]

Mmmm... any time but not always 😀
