To my subscribers: Thanks!

Music from a Muzak LP, demonstrating the concept of Stimulus Progression. As a predecessor of Environmental Music, Stimulus Progression was typically heard as background music in supermarkets, departments stores and offices from the 1940's to the 1970's. Stimulus Progression was broadcast in 15 minute blocks, alternating between 15 minutes of music and 15 minutes of silence. Each quarter-hour program consists of 6 tracks, beginning with one of low level stimulus (i.e. stimulus level 1 of 6) and ends with a tune of more upbeat instrumentation (i.e. stimulus level 6 of 6). The average stimulus level for a quarter-hour block depends on the time of day.

    Thank you for the shout-out and the music!

  • When I worked at a grocery store in 1989, they played this NON STOP. Believe it or not, they had "Stairway to Heaven". I loved it when Christmas came because it was Christmas muzak 24/7. I liked it!
