Department store music?

This may be very challenging.


Mari says beat must not be heavy so that customers stay in store for more time with possible result spending more money.


So would Ain't Nobody - Jasmine Thompson a Capella version be a much prepared version that the DJ remix with beat?


Vicky says music should not be sad or remind you of sad things. She also mentions that instrumental versions are suitable.


So are too sentimental songs out too?


Are class D power amplifiers out too as they have the potential of sounding horrible or hostile at least subconsciously to humans?


Are MP3 files out too for the same hard sound quality reason? The sound quality that makes jaw tight? You want to bite something but you do not know what to bite syndrome.


Are 2 speakers per department out too as they create wave interference creating confusion?


Would electron tube power amplifiers of the quality of Altec for example be an excellent choice?


Would record companies give freely the best quality wave files possible?


Would analog sources be much better? For example using reel to reel magnetic tape analog players?


Would original, instrumental versions of famous songs be suitable?


Would it be a good idea to approach a record company for remixes of famous songs without drums, or much simpler versions etc?


Would tracks such as those below be suitable?


Would tracks with many black notes be suitable?


Would tracks with much major 3rd major seventh chords be suitable?


Would tracks with ninth chords be very useful?


Would tracks with bB major 3rd major 7th chords (ie bB D F A) be suitable?


Would tracks such as the following be suitable?


Ain't Nobody - Jasmine Thomson (almost a Capella version)
Illusion - Imagination
Chi Mae - Moriconne
Le Cris Le Vent - Moriconne
La Isla Bonita - Madonna
Agistri (the hook, instrumental) - Hatzinasion
Αθανασία ορχηστρικό - Χατζιδακις
Say it Right - Furtado
Été (Amelie movie) - Tiersen
2nd movement of oboe concerto in D minor - Marcello (Bach transcription)
First Time (Instumental) - Coca Cola production
Love's Theme - Barry White
Mammagamma - Alan Parsons Project
Girl From Ipanema - Gilberto
C minor prelude - Chopin
I Like Chopin - Gazebo (instrumental)
Slow movement of harpsichord concerto - Bach
Africa - Toto
Love is in the Air - Young


Would songs with places (visiting, travelling atmosphere) be suitable ?


Such as:
Africa - Toto
La Ilsa Bonita - Madonna
Cocomo - The Beach Boys



Bossa Nova, Jobim


Ray Conniff for Christmas songs?


Vocals or other instruments should not be out of tune or customers are out.


Another idea may be to play the original music that has been used as samples for making other songs. For example playing what Verve sampled to create Bitter Sweet Symphony. Many of these may be classical or orchestral music.
