Na izvoru svetlosti (trans. At the Spring of Light) is the second and the last studio album by Yugoslav progressive rock band Pop Mašina, released in 1975.
The album was recorded from September 4–7, 1975 in Akademik Studio in Ljubljana, with the exception of the blues track "Negde daleko", recorded on the band's performance in Belgrade Sports Hall on 2 January 1974.[1] It was produced by the band's bass guitarist and vocalist Robert Nemeček and Ivo Umek.[1] The album featured guest appearances by S Vremena Na Vreme member Ljuba Ninković and keyboardist and composer Sloba Marković. Both of them appeared as guests on Pop Mašina's previous album, Kiselina (Acid).[1]
The song "Rekvijem za prijatelja" ("Requiem for a Friend"), with lyrics written by Ljuba Ninković, was dedicated to Predrag Jovičić, the vocalist of the band San, who earlier that year died from an electric shock on a concert in Čair Sports Center in Niš.[1] The song was musically inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach's choral composition and featured a string quartet.[1] The album featured a new version of the song "Zemlja svetlosti", previously released on a 7-inch single.[1]
