Janko Nilovic's Rythmes Contemporains (aka "Giant") is a cinematic masterpiece, long-awaited and worth the anticipation. Nilovic assembled 45 musicians for this monumental session, resulting in a collection that transcends the typical "library music" label. The album spans lush pop, big band, fusion, and beyond, embodying the essence of the exotica genre. Featuring horns, a funk-influenced rhythm section, strings, flute, electric guitar, piano, and a wordless choir, the music exudes a riveting restlessness. The compositions and arrangements shine with harmony, melody, and unexpected shifts in mood and direction. The sound quality and musicianship are impeccable. Rythmes Contemporains opens with 'Black on a White Ground,' combining driving beats and rave-like percussion with a film score-like sensibility. 'Mouvements Aquatiles' is brief yet beautiful, while 'Underground Session' adds menace with dueling sax and guitar solos. The extended pieces 'Giant Locomotion' and 'Xenos Cosmos' stand out, especially the latter, which explores diverse musical terrains in a shorter span. For fans of exotica or those seeking a fusion of jazz and film scores, Rythmes Contemporains will be an exciting find.
