1976 Janko Nilovic “Pop Shopin” on Editions Montparnasse 2000

The mighty Janko, who I’m going to go out on a limb and say is THE greatest French Montenegrin Library composer of all time, turns in another killer comp of cinematic snippets, funk gurgles, soul grooves, Third Stream moments, drum breaks, sax wails, and various other heavy organ-led tracks. You of course likely know Nilovic by his alias Abra K. Dabra, or one of his lesser monikers, like Alan Blackwell, E. Orti, Johnny Montevideo, Tonton Roland, or Yako Doussis. This record should not be confused with “Pop’ Impressions”, “Psych Impressions”, “Rythmes Contemporains” (which is really the “Giant” album), or “Super America”, all of which are fantastic in their own right. The dude was on fire for decades. Top action!
