I've talked about it before but Attention K-Mart Shoppers is such an incredible thing, a collection of overhead department store music from a forgotten era https://archive.org/details/attentionkmartshoppers
My favorite thing is still the opening track from the October 1989 tape. The synths! The distortion! The yearning calls of the instruments! The piano! https://archive.org/details/KmartOctober1989
There are so many good tapes though
@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber that piano really fits go unreasonably hard given the setting.
Reminds me of when I worked at a dollar tree that had a Muzac system, after hours when we were cleaning up the manager would flip it to an alternative rock channel that was actually really good, but DT corporate wouldn't let the managers play it while the store was open.
