      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.

    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.

      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

    *@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! 🎼💜
