Mmm... Skyscraper I Love You is the first official single by the reformed MKII version of Underworld, originally released in 1993 in the UK. Along with other singles and recordings from this period, Skyscraper was chosen for their first album Dubnobasswithmyheadman (1993).

The CD-Single is a highly sought-after collectible from the band, as the vinyl is much easier to find.

Notes

• Mmm... Skyscraper I Love You was inspired by Karl Hyde's travels to New York and also culminated in him producing a graphic art book of the same name with fellow Tomato artist John Warwicker. Much of the book contains texts and imagery featured in the song. It is subtitled, a 'Typographical Journal of New York'.

• Mmm... Skyscraper was also the inspiration for Archive's track 'Skyscraper' which samples part of the song. It appears on the album 'Londinium', as does Karl Hyde as guest guitarist.
