Keyboard Player's Chord Bible: Over 500 Illustrated Chords for All Styles of Music Book

Ultimately Lanza's argument surrounding the aesthetic and cultural worth of Muzak in its original form (that is, soft instrumental compositions or arrangements of popular songs heard in public spaces via a distant selector/curator) is understandable and interesting to hear -- as is his vision towards the proliferation of vaporwave. Just wish I didn't have to wade through an almost unbearably long tangent on mood music composers / hi-fi listening made for the home / the construction of easy listening as a genre, smack in the middle of the book to get there. The majority of the book otherwise covers programmed music in public spaces, Muzak as a company, etc. Easy listening as genre is brought up again in a brief chapter regarding New Age/space music -- the length spent on Vangelis and Hearts of Space is about as much as should be covered on Jackie Gleason, Martin Denny, etc in a book centered on the listening experience outside of the home as a means for shifting affect.
