I'm 23 and I simply adore this music. It's very nostalgic and melancholic, and more profound than other muzak. It transports me to a past in which I've never lived.
@@alexandra.v same for my, i had 26 and since i found this type of easy listening music i started to get really into it, it had such a natural and smooth vibe to it
Not completely! Those of us that were teenagers at the time still remember this type of music. I have great memories of my first girlfriends tuning in this kind of music on the radio when we were making out…
Reminds me of being a kid in the 70s/80s.Sitting in the local cinema before the movie came on. Nowadays,i seldom go to see a movie and when I do,I purposely leave late because i can't stand to sit there and be bombarded with advertistements.I won't even enter the theater until I know the coming attractions are over with.
When I listen to Muzak it sounds like the tape is warped I remember as a kid it sounded like this like it’s a big band playing down a long hallway echoing echoes aaaah 😊nostalgia 😮😮😊😊
I am using this as homework background music and I can smell the hall I'm in as I listen to this. Walking past fancy elevators with a briefcase at my side
Hmm... projecting all of ones 5 senses into a decade before ones time. Accolades to you! Youve got more imagination than I do. I only have the memories. Didnt have to work in an office building with elevators, but I think any generation can remember that same "institutional" hallway smell youre talking about, from being in school... The schools I went to growing up were built in the 40's; a distinct patina for the nose, not the eyes. Reminds me of when you open the top of an old piano. That unmistakable antique aroma
One word: download! Just create a compilation album of your own on recordable CD/ DVD. I dont expect to have Internet access forever, nor always the $55/ month to pay for it. But by archiving music like this at home, I have enough music to be a radio station that could play 24/7 for an entire week without repeating one song. There's no need to be as ambitious as me, but its well worth it just to have a handful of "homemade" albums If I can ever find the time, I'd like to begin uploading my music library for my own easy listening RUclips channel. But we already have Just Muzak, Ares Armoire, Soft Tempo Lounge, Epic Orchestra, & countless others
Would be too hard to find this kind of music. Go to your local thrift store and find all of those Ferrante and Teicher, Andre Kostelanetz, and Ray Conniff album your mom threw out after your grandparents passed.
People used to buy easy listening albums for the anti-anxiety, antidepressant, and even aphrodisiac effects. Who needs pharmaceutical drugs? Well, there was mother's little helper, valium.
*@Ares Armoire* Thank you kindly for uploading this jewel. It mystified me & drove me nuts as a kid that I couldnt find this music anywhere. Not in the old Phonolog, nor at any record store. Had my hometown had a USED record store, I wouldve had better luck discovering an old Muzak album. The local easy listening station that played this Contemporary Orchestra/ Soft Jazz was just a series of 12 hour reel-to-reel tapes that were changed throughout the week. A 50” music set followed by 10” of news & weather. But the names of the artists or of the songs played were never given I didnt learn about Muzak Corporation for the first time until I began using RUclips 6 years ago. 40 years passed, but it was worth the wait to begin learning the names of these songs & their orchestrators! 🎼💜
Ah yes, just like ye olde multilevel shopping malls of decades past. I havent listened to the rest of this album just yet, but _Dont Get Around Much Anymore_ is perfect to fall asleep by 🎼💜 😴
Elevator Music. The worst was that long haired guy that played a wind instrument. He was 70s. Cant remember his name. Love this Muzak though. Reminds me of intermission at the Drive In theatre.
Music thats neither blue nor very lively is also known as _melancholy._ That emotionless, neutral state-of-mind, just like an afternoon daydream in class when we were school kids :o)
Oh my gosh, this made sense to housewives whose doctors prescribed phenyl barbitol for “feelings.” I remember this music as a kid. It was just part of the mall / elevator / grocery store experience. Now I can’t believe that anyone actually played this!
It's just music man just music from a different era that we who were born during that time can relate to. But people of this age see it as dark, creepy, reverberating music played to horror movies to which I find annoying.
The older I get, the more I enjoy music like this.

This music turn me back to my childhood, when everything seems to be ok for ever.
I truly miss this type of music on the radio. Unfortunately, most of the people who were of this generation are gone.
Not completely! Those of us that were teenagers at the time still remember this type of music. I have great memories of my first girlfriends tuning in this kind of music on the radio when we were making out…
kind of surreal that we would still listen to music like this if we didn't have fancy electronics that can synthesise sound
But these tunes were not for the radio. This music was exclusive for malls, airports and public spaces.
@adamantiuscloudcat1799 There were "Beautiful Music" radio stations back in the day that played stuff like this.
The warped sound in 60s to 70s shopping centers across America 🇺🇸 ❤ It sounds Haunting now in present time . 2024 which I like 👍

"What Is This Thing Called Love?" becomes more interesting when you add a comma, and change the rhythm: "What Is This Thing Called, Love?"
“What is this, Thing Called Love?”
“What is this thing?”, called Love
"What, Is This Thing Called Love?"
😆! !
Commas are important: No more tequila?
No, m o r e tequila!
its a tango like style song.
Cheesy Musak really cheers me up. It's hard not to feel good listening to it, especially if you imagine it playing in an empty mall.
When I listen to Muzak it sounds like the tape is warped I remember as a kid it sounded like this like it’s a big band playing down a long hallway echoing echoes aaaah 😊nostalgia 😮😮😊😊
Yes it is designed that way
I'm going into an elevator so I can listen to this in the proper setting.
Under rated comment!
Really like the cover art of this album, very clean and nostalgic, fits the music well.
Muusic like thiis was once only available on special-order 33 1/3 LP vinyl records or analog and then stereo FM radio.
My youth coming back!
⚜ I love the open-air sound of this, as if it were in a mall or something. Ooo, this is nice! Thank you so much for sharing, Ares Armoire!
Right out the Gate!! My Old Man's theme Song- "Don't Get Around Much Anymore"...

Also hearing 👠 stiletto shoes in the hallway .
You're doing homework as you walk with a briefcase?
this is me, shopping for back-to-school jeans in about 1974
Would be nice if this was a real album available on vinyl. Warm and light music, just sit back and relax.
You can get close to that with the MUZAK demonstration records I guess.

Gentle music, and a very cool album cover.

너무좋네요~~
Muito bom!Me faz lembrar a década de 70, dentro dos cinemas antes dos filme começar.
Gorgeous and perfect in every way.
It's kind of phantasmagoric...
Glad you included a track from Sid Bass, one of my favorite MUZAK arrangers! A very very good track too :)
He’s great. I’m a big fan of the piano on Build Your Love
@@aresarmoire780 You should listen to some of his more contemporary arrangements on Reveille and Stimulus Progression One.
Thanks, didn’t realise he featured on those, will have to keep an ear out
@@aresarmoire780 Almost all of the tracks on Stimulus Progression 1 were arranged by him.
This is what I imagine I’d like to hear while in a coma, morphine drip turned up high, a hot nurse changing my diaper.
I doubt it
Elevator Music.
The worst was that long haired guy that played a wind instrument. He was 70s. Cant remember his name.
Love this Muzak though. Reminds me of intermission at the Drive In theatre.
That last one feels like Everywhere at the end of Time (which I listened to the entire A-side on vinyl)
i love sweetheart. its a shame thats the only one by stan applebaum from the archives
Definitely, would be great to hear some more stuff from him, a great track indeed
I enjoy it because it feels so cold. Its a unique listening experience. There is absolutely no soul. No life at all.

True! It's really background music for malls, supermarkets, etc.
"Liminal Space: The Motion Picture Soundtrack"
Good easy listening. I'm more into the 60s/70s muzak. You know...The Girl from Ipanema, Do You Know the Way to San Jose😊😊

La musica de los fantasmas del Overlook.
NOT I CAN THİNG SAY!!! ONLY PERFECT
Oh my gosh, this made sense to housewives whose doctors prescribed phenyl barbitol for “feelings.” I remember this music as a kid. It was just part of the mall / elevator / grocery store experience. Now I can’t believe that anyone actually played this!
We need it back!
The mellow music, not the pills 😄
@@AquarianNomadic My comment was a bit harsh, though. This music brought back many memories! And yes, there is always a need for soothing music 😊
great horror shot... the killer lumbering slowly up the staircase, the thump of the axe-head as it strikes each step
Yeah it's kinda eerie, reminds me of the Shining. It must be the reverb.
It's just music man just music from a different era that we who were born during that time can relate to. But people of this age see it as dark, creepy, reverberating music played to horror movies to which I find annoying.

I like it but obviously somebody has run this through a DSP unit
Wait is Muzak like a music genre? I just thought it was a soundtrack from Doctor Who's The Invasion. 😮
Muzak is an American brand of background music played in retail stores and other public establishments. It started in 1934!
@@aresarmoire780 oh wow! Thanks for the info! ^.^
These songs should be reissued as: “Music for the Backrooms”!
can I find this somewhere and buy it?
It’s a RUclips only mix for now, but thank you for your interest! 🎷🎹🎺
Great album where I can I find it
Thanks for your interest! This compilation is only on RUclips for now, maybe one day… 🎷🎹🎺
It's crazy how Muzak is so stringently copyrighted.
They spent a lot of time and money testing and arranging and retesting their tracks on audiences.
It paid off.
But they had to own it.
Why?
Reminds me of Dawn of the Dead.
This is giving me Caretaker vibes. Uncomfortable.
