SHREM'S ACADEMY OF ALL TIME BEST SINGLES: "DESIRE" - Mulu

Feeling a little bit nostalgic today. 1990's style nostalgic! The year was 1996. I remember it very vividly when I heard MULU's debut single "Desire" for the very first time and it blew me away instantly... It spent countless of weeks at number 1 of my private charts. 15 years after this sublime record still gives me goosebumps. One of the most memorable and the most sophisticated tracks in the whole trip hop movement era of the 90's. Pure magic!
