In 1975 I was hired by a wealthy architect to take care of his large yacht. He had a selection of 3 hour long reel to reel tapes. These featured light classical, easy listening and "pop" music and were from a collection used by American Airlines. We would play them quietly when he was entertaining guests, or we were on a long ocean voyage so we had music with our breakfast, lunch and dinner. Happy days!
What fine Memories for you! Thanks for your rare & interesting Story❤
What I learned to appreciate in this music is that in these primitive and unobtrusive chords our life is reflected, everyday, maybe even unnoticed, but so loved after many years, when many of our loved ones and everything that surrounded us , will go into eternity, we will be able to listen to this music and remember something every day, something so valuable that we saw and felt. This music with its very simple but very pleasant chords reflects our life. Thanks for this playlist!
This is amazing. A lot of people that were around when this was new, and also many younger people who filtered through vaporwave and then mallsoft and then finding their way to this.
@@bigbufobufo I love mallsoft too. Through mallsoft I found the muzak genre.
This got recommended to me due to my interest in the Kmart vaporwave mixes lol
This is my favorite one..the picture of the plane is the best feel like your up in the sky with a light buzz on from a drink and your ears a little clogged from height ..but happy !! 😊
The first song is “April Again”
If I could live - April again
Oh, only if I could live, April again..
This is pretty wild. Obviously somebody ran this through a DSP unit to open up the sound stage and give it a whole lot of echoplex. I kind of like it pretty trippy
Sort of what it would have sounded like being blasted through a large and echoey airport or mall as you are waiting for your flight. I'm having flashbacks!
It's the sound a dying mall makes as you walk through the emptiness.
Actually, that's what it sounded like in a live mall as well, because the sound was bouncing all around the walls
@@nickbryant2318excellent analogy sir! Too bad most people are still wandering around in it looking for bargains. They have nowhere else to go. Sad
FANTASTIC empty mall muzak LOVE IT! Best Boomer Memories! SORELY MISS those wonderful Days....
Many Thanks for THIS GEM!

Reminds me of background music from Soviet films, so warm and familiar, without evil or bad intentions. Listening to this album, I get the feeling that I’m somewhere in a typical hall of a Soviet cultural center, in front of me are huge panoramic windows, behind them it’s early morning and the city is still sleeping, the floors are buried in the sun’s rays, and only this music is coming from somewhere from the depths of the soul gives the painting a finished look
Just fly in peace sky 😊

Beautiful muzieks..beautiful years..beautiful dreams..!!!

From spain ...love music ...never i ride on a plane .an.always wanted can to visitin Usa Love music its so lovely....i was born on 78 but music really its so kinda sweet n lovely n so clearly heavenly for all my deeper senses too much calming n relaxing !!! Love to fly but never did it on my real wholelifetime !!! Greetings from South OF SPAIN n very to thanks a lot for sharing n posting this lovely music !!
I love the second song, it is so romantic and brings a nostalgic feeling.
Agreed! This kind of music is all somewhat romantic. My girlfriend in high school usually tuned in to one of the easy listening stations while we were making out. It was really enjoyable…
If you could have experienced a Pan Am flight in 1973 with the on board lounge,.. wow...
The stewardess outfits were amazing also..
@@eugenegrigz experiencing second hand smoke inhalation in a very confined space, is not enjoyable by any means.
@@eymanyouwell sure! but a wanna smoke again in planes. BACK IN THE 80's YEAAAAH!!
Don't know about you, but this music sends me flying.
Oh, I know...{GROAN}
That joke takes punning to new heights. Every time I fly, the future of my trip is up in the air. I was winging it with those jokes.
Simply divine. This is perfect music
This is just amazing. Glad I stumbled across this Muzak/ music-channel recently. Makes me want get the F@!? out this time and go back 😂
14:44 has serious James Bond vibes
Indeed a similar accompaniment.
Original melody was composed by Michel Legrand from France.
doing the lord's work
Love the little "ding" at the end of the video. Adds more to the feeling of an airport.
I've heard all of this music before...but not in about 40 years...I like it..
Reminds me of a dingy Mall in Birmingham a few years back half the shops boarded up old faithful green grocers opened & maybe a sewing wool store felt bad for the owners standing in a cold dingy mall , had to buy a bag of fruit & veg & a knitted toilet roll holder , they were grateful with a smile ☺ weired moment but happy 😊 I experience it was a time warp oh & brought a tea & salad roll it was delicious. MEMORIES love elevator music 🎶 imagination goes wild .
Calming
"Would you like to be in the New York Philharmonic Orchestra or the Muzak Orchestra?"
"Absolutely the Muzak Orchestra!"
I can imagine standing in an airport concourse, waiting for my 747 to take me to Japan.
I love the atmosphere this album has, so good.
Memorable music. In 1967 I flew a 707 Clipper from SFO to Orly, France. We circled up and over Greenland, down over Ireland into Orly. I think it's called the Polar Route. I am so sad Pan Am went away.
That was a nice touch at the end
it makes me flashback to some pretty fun times ✌❤
wow. there are lots of easy-listening uploads but this a gem. thank you so much.
Thank you for this amazing upload, Beautiful Music.
Simply fantastic , great work on the reverb editing, Joe lonic did an edited album like this one and I have to say you’ve done a swell thing here, the album thumbnail is just the cherry on top.
Do I smell obsession here!
I’m here ten years too late to be making V A P O R W A V E
the one prior to Autumn (37:43) is the main theme from Now, Voyager
@@hudsony777 i think they took a lot of creative freedom but i think its closer than any other suggestions we’ve gotten thus far. it may be something else though.
34:06 This song was heard in the mall of the World Trade Center before its destruction, thanks so much. Where did you find this?
This song was found on a Muzak reel-to-reel tape for United airlines. The original version can be heard on CV2200A's channel in a video called 'Muzak Tape 3 United Airlines' at 1:40:50
@@bgsoundscape there’s a surprisingly large number of candid videos of the plaza from before the towers fell
Such an incredibly eerie video, the one you are referencing. I also remember a Muzak version of “She’s Always a Woman” by Billy Joel that was playing.
We dont remember 25:01, but we encourage you to remember it.. how about some Milano Cookies while you take this trip to paradise?
So we’ll never know who made the goated 1st record? 😢
I think it's "Goin' out of my head" by Wes Montgomery, but super slowed down. Here is a link of it: ua-cam.com/video/pojnUyrETI4/v-deo.html
It's 'April Again', originally written by Glen D. Hardin. Check out Dean Martin's version on YT
Pan American Airlines… The World is Yours 🌎
👍 nice sweet n sassy... What's the origin ? Please & More thank you... WillieM.
I have this one record, that is this type of music. It’s 33 1/3 size, but 16 rpm. So is there a record player that plays that speed?
There are some around, it looks like Etsy has some, but they are quite hard to come by. I think there are a few companies that transfer vinyl to digital files these days that might be what you’re after
The cover art is not fully bright,
It makes me feel like on heaven more.
Is this PANAMA music
Is this a ginormous empty plane? May want to change the title to Dead Mall Muzak.
Smoking or non? as if the smoke knows where to stop 🤢
When you just chilling, taking off from Iran, but you realize it is the 1980s period: Horrify noises.
These sound very liminal
no effects, please; music not requires.
Good playlist, bad effects.
Everything sounds so distant, heavy hangover music

Don’t know any others. Maybe later if I listen to it more thoroughly I will update the list.
I have no idea how I got here, but this is just so perfect it makes me tear up. What is this? What genre?
Hard to say, technically speaking it's background music... but with the reverb, it's a variant of the Mallsoft genre perhaps?
@@napoleon-sk5oc Absolutely...actually surprisingly pleasing. I was just providing category.
Today, Muzak have officially released a compilation of their Airline Tapes to music streaming platforms: ua-cam.com/video/4mtPlmQGJLo/v-deo.html
They sound terrible though...
@@TheWorldOfBudgetVinylRecords indeed they do. and the information for most of them is incorrect. great job youtube. a bunch of high schoolers literally created a better archive in their free time 🤦♂️
@@The4MusketeersYT I literally have a way better sounding recording of "The Straight Life" at my disposal, while they couldn't even get the title right💀
@@The4MusketeersYT Damn. LITERALLY a bunch of high schoolers. 💀
THANK YOU SOOOOOOO
MUCH!!🛫✈️
