Na izvoru svetlosti (trans. At the Spring of Light) is the second and the last studio album by former Yugoslav progressive rock band Pop Mašina, released in 1975.
Background and recording
The album was recorded from September 4 to September 7, 1975 in Akademik Studio in Ljubljana, with the exception of the blues track "Negde daleko", recorded on the band's performance in Belgrade's Hala sportova on January 2, 1974. The album featured guest appearances by S Vremena Na Vreme member Ljuba Ninković and keyboardist and composer Sloba Marković.
"Rekvijem za prijatelja", with lyrics written by Ljuba Ninković, was dedicated to Predrag Jovičić, the singer of the band San, who died from an electric shock on a concert in Čair Sports Center in Niš. The album featured a new version of the song "Zemlja svetlosti", previously released on a 7" single.
