mmm skyscraper i love you (the last 3 minutes)
 
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.

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

I'd let Karl Hyde feel me.

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? :)

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?"
