Jovan Maljoković - The Uplifting Abyss* Previously unreleased Jazz Funk LP from 70s Yugoslavia * Crazy grooves, breaks, samples and smooth arrangements * Missing piece of Eastern Bloc Jazz history * Straight from the master tapes buried in the vaults of Radio Belgrade What would you do if a never before released jazz funk album from 70s Yugoslavia had dropped suddenly into your arms? An album which sounds like a crate diggers holy grail!? Album full of heavy drum breaks, repetitive bass

still enthralled by the purity of The Shaggs

anthemic highs ring from elegiac lows and back again

Johnson’s joy in every aspect of this album is delightfully infectious

which was the very first release on the Crepuscule label back in November 1980 – and is now celebrating its 40th anniversary

those songs click together perfectly
