This is spot-on from what I remember from the 1990’s, when it was possible to pick up Muzak broadcasts over FM subcarrier.

I LOVE THIS !!! 🎵🎵
Alot of eighties pop instumentals in that classic MUZAK style.

36:52 is Soul Food To Go by Charles Brotman, it was heard in the Mall of the World Trade Center on March 19th, 1999, and we’ve finally found it, thank you so much!

Some of these songs sound more like a dedication to their originals than "elevator music". Sometimes they are even better than their originals.

In my opinion, it's really sad, that MUZAK has passed away. I'm really sure, that, if the company would have a streaming channel with their special environmental tunes of current music nowadays, I'm a subscriber.

Thank you for uploading this great compilation.
