I worked in a men’s clothing store during my high school years in the mid seventies and I eagerly looked forward to the Christmas music that began playing in November.

I can only imagine how awesome that was. I worked at K-Mart in '91, before they went through an image update, rebranding in the 90s. It was like time had stood still for much of everything there including the music, Christmas time etc. It often felt like being back in the "good ol' days". Funny, now, my days at K-Mart are part of the good old days too.

That's The power of good art, whether it's a book a painting or music, you can take you out of your self and see life from another perspective. Robert Ebert called films an empathy machine, where are you can learn to empathize with other people and see life from another viewpoint. That's The power of art. That's probably why kids in the '50s loved westerns they loved envisioning and imagining a Time of adventure and rugged individualism. Or going to other worlds in galaxies in sci-fi comic books. We can't underestimate people's capacity for imagination and adventure

Such a warm relaxing sound...such a nice vintage reverb . I almost get a slight melencholy feeling but soothing feeling , cant quite describe it. It takes me back to my grandmas big stereo in her livingroom playing the easy listening instrumentals. As a child remember laying next to the stereo hearing the slight reverb and warm sounds of these type songs. Oh what I would do to just go back even just one more time to relive that time.

This is what my mom and dad's relatives heard piped out of inconspicuously placed speakers throughout the shopping malls and the like. I was born in 1963 and I didn't go to shopping malls until around 1978 (which had It's eras mall music too). Music you couldn't buy in record stores. There is something about instrumentals, they are magical and they don't need words! It stands on its own. The best studio musicians around! Made specifically for the happy, fortunate shoppers on a Saturday or Sunday evening out with the family, and maybe hear these tunes at a Bob's Big Boy after the mall. That would be great. Those times seemed oh so dreamy!

I was fascinated with how that music was transmitted. Some vendors just set up a tape player at the location while MUZAK was via SCA until satellite transmission came into use. Now who knows now they with little doubt may even use the library on their smart phone to play music over the speakers. But it shows how far the technology has come.

Oh! I definitely agree with you! I was born in 63, as well, but my parents used to take us to department stores or malls since we were very young. We used to dress up back then though! 🥰 You wouldn't see people with dishevelled hair while wearing t-shirts, shorts, and sandals! Going out to the department stores or malls was special! Now, I remember that type of music playing in the background. Ahhh! I really miss those days because there was no Internet. In other words, you could make friends without gadgets and hang out with them and concentrate on conversations! As kids, we used to play outside a lot with the next door kids or ride our bikes in the neighborhood! I also had my Legos to build cars, houses, etc. Now, if you wanted info or do some school assignment, you would go to the library, or you would just watch the evening news, or listened to the radio! We were double lucky because my parents house was right across from the park. We used to wait for the ice cream truck every afternoon! Sigh! I'm glad I was born earlier in the XXI century because, otherwise, I would have missed those wonderful moments which I treasure so much as an adult! Thanks for sharing!

What a tremendous improvement on the truly awful pop music I was forced to hear at the mall this summer! There was a song playing that literally repeated a very short (and very poorly written) fragment over and over and over and over and over and over and over again...lost count of how many times.... It's a relief to be able to experience the mall music of a time with higher standards. These pieces actually have well-crafted melodies!

@@gggggggggggggggggg161 There has unarguably always been poorly-written music in any era. Mere repetition was not the main problem of that song; it was the repetition of a very badly-written fragment that was unbearable, plus the excessive number of repetitions out of all proportion. Those are two distinct differences between typical repetitive music of back then and now. Still, you're certainly entitled to like what you want.

This was music put on during a soccer meet at a park. I truly don't understand how anyone buys and enjoys music like this!

If we were old enough children not too long after that, we might remember phonograph records and even TV shows and commercials of this older style of content. Stuff like this was eventually regarded as cheesy, but ironically it was associated with what we thought of as the ease of futuristic modernity, such as kitchens that practically made your food from scratch, it seemed so organized and easy. Actual modernity hasn't brought that ease, for human nature frequently is to make the world worse instead of better, centered on selfish things. But we dreamed anyhow. And it was the era of swooping, stylish, shiny automobile bodies. Anyhow there are understandable reasons for the reaction to the smooth, soaring style. If only that style hadn't been telling us smooth, soaring lies as the love of riches ate our souls like termites did the pressed wood walls of those modular homes. The marketplace, alas, can never be the shangri-la it boasts of being. But we still remember how that boast felt in its heyday.

Having worked in shopping malls in the 1980s, I can attest that there is a haunting, faraway aspect that is somehow captured in this recording. (The music was somewhat different. Maybe a little more uptempo). You really only heard the music during slow times or when you were among those few who had to be on site before opening or after closings hours. Indeed, I recall being on "inventory duty" and not leaving until 1:00 am and still hearing this music as I wearily wandered back to my car. There was a not-unpleasant "haunted" aspect of hearing this music drifting down the corridors. There was a sense that the building was somehow alive! Ironically, years later I worked for a company that provided similar services to Muzak, and the switch to a digital stream was much more technically challenging and troublesome for store owners/mall managers than simply using a tape machine! There were seemingly endless ways in which thing could go wrong!

I'm still in high school so i could be wrong but i feel like none of the businesses put effort like they used too in style. i feel like the 2020s style is a style i will not look back on (obviously too early to tell). but everything before that had a weird beauty too it so i can only hope for the death of minimalism soon as its the cause. also noticed how many comments where hating on kids which i personally thought was weird.

This 50s-70s age of ‘excess and extravagance’ originated at the end of WW2. With the war ending in victory for the Allies came a confidence in style which led people to spend and decorate more than ever. Then the 80s/90s hit and along came computers and environmentalism. Minimalism took the front seat. Tech swapped many delicate art forms with less than adequate replacements (I.e. a logo normally sent off to a designer could now be done easily in Word). Although this technology is now improving (I.e. new A.I. tools in Word can make this logo even better), it’s a shame some of the human elements have been lost. The fact that a lot people are thinking about the excess beauty of the past (as opposed to the minimalism of today) does shows the seedlings of resurgence in this style once again.

Actually, techno giants like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg are the ones pushing technology to the limits of what is acceptable! Teens are just the giants' victims to sell their stuff to ensure the world becomes totally dependent on technology! Bottom line, to them the current generations are disposable! Good thing is that there cracks showing: Amazon is already thinking about creating walk-in shopping stores because it's losing billions on returned items! Same thing with Walmart and Target! Now, the world economy is doing badly and non-technology jobs are becoming scarcer while the world population keeps growing. So, sooner or later reality will sink in and businesses will have to create regular jobs so people can afford to buy goods and life moves on! Unless techno giants want to eliminate human beings and replace them with AI technology!

I like the echo which makes it sound like it’s being played at a mall or airport. Sure it would be nice not to have to listen to vocals when at a mall or store but thank to KZbin and the internet in general, you can play it in the house or transfer it to flash drive and listen in the car.

Yet another version of "Volare." A bit spicier than the Muzak Mall '74 version. I must say I like this choice of songs you made, but still not as dreamy as '74. Slow them down a bit, I say.

Muzak, an American brand of background music was often used in retail stores and other establishments as early as 1934. These songs originate from a large library of thousands of these tracks. A handful of these songs have been curated into this mix for KZbin. It’s highly probable that some or all of these were at one point played somewhere like this.
