I've always believed the best muzak play in C-sharp major like the first track. Other examples include E-flat minor & A-flat major. Suits American muzak the most.
I heard the first song when i was 6! I used to wake up so early when i was younger to wait for the kids' programs to start, that Ceefax was still playing. I could watch it for hours on end! (4 hours once solid!)
@ooeyb I know, this is REAL music. Yet I have the odd sensation many of these funky, jazzy songs are from America. Maybe the USA is where the Martinez Players come from, but regardless, the Yellow Country really know how to make music as funky as this. It has rhythm, it has drive, it makes you want to come back for more. Yet even Ceefax won't last forever. Probably the main icon of UK history is going to be no more the moment we go entirely digital, good grief.
yeah - thanks all who have contributed. Glad you like this great (niche) music! I found out that this was published by faye gibbs publishing. I think they are all done by the martinez players - if only I knew who they were and what country they came from!!! This music should be released on a cd or something, but probably never will be.
thanks - but do you have any idea what they are called or their composers? The third was probably Janko Nilovic if it was on the In The Open tape. The first two mabye from the funtastik music library on a cd beyond FUN1025?
This to me sound as though Peanuts just met Quartz Quadrant.

strike that last comment - i meant to say released to the mainstream, not in some obscure music library. This is proper music, man!

Stunning first tune, albeit a semitone higher than I know it!

Track 2 was used on the BBC2 tape 'Colours' which made its debut in March 1990.
