MUZAK "Stimulus Progression"
A unique programming concept

With this album you can actually experience the concept of stimulus progression. We have programmed six selections on each side for purposes of demonstration. Move the needdle of your record player from one selection to the other. Listen a few seconds to each. Feel the change in mood as the stimulation increases from the first selection to the last. The effort s both psychological and physiological: proof that MUZAK is more than music.

Note: This album cannot be purchased anywhere at any price. All selections were specially arranged, recorded, and programmed by MUZAK for demonstration only.

Arranging & recording:
MUZAK selects, arranges, and records its music-specifically and exclusively for functional use. The distracting or irritating musical devices of ordinary entertainment music are avoided. MUZAK tapes new music continuously using top-name arrangers.

Taping:
Programs are recorded on 8 hour reels of tape in elaborate MUZAK studios. Rigid standards are maintained to ensure crucial timing and crystal-clear sound. Over 600 quality control checks are made on each MUZAK tape. 

Transmission:
MUZAK programs are transmitted from central studios via leased telephone lines or special FM facilities. Precise timing is assured by automated patented MUZAK tape reproducing units, accurate to within two seconds during any 8-hour period. In standard MUZAK operations, central studios play 3285 professional 8-hour tapes, per subscriber, over a three year period. That's 26,289 hours of fresh programs; a fresh new program every day.
