To be honest I had never heard of Lollywood ( Lahore + Hollywood ) before discovering this unusual compilation. Pakistan's version of Bollywood clearly spawned some interesting films if the music they used is any indication. This set mainly revolves around the work of M.Ashraf, Kamal Ahmed and Tafo, with vocals provided by Nahid Akhtar. The tagline for this record is "Rare Electronic Pop From The Lollywood Vaults 1973-1980" and indeed there is plenty of interesting electronic experimentation incorporated into the more traditional elements. The music is certainly an acquired taste but if you've got an open mind and want to diversify your tastes then it's well worth the trip. Thanks to the original uploader.

"Rare Electronic Pop From The Lollywood Vaults 1973-1980" ?!? I didnt even know what "Lollywood" was either but the title had me salivating all the same! I have really got into late 70s/early 80s Hindi "disco" orientated soundtracks by Bappi Lahri and R Burman and the like so this album is total excitement time! Many thanks for sharing and a thank you to the anonymous uploader!
