I linked to it from my share of the Stimulus Progression Christmas album today.<br /><br />http://ernienotbert.blogspot.com/2019/11/back-to-muzak-2-continuance.html<br /><br />Those are the only three I know of. But there is a very good Seeburg one that will show up here in a new stereo rip in a couple of days. And then the 3M one from a couple years ago...<br /><br />If you're looking for the Christmas Becomes Electric, that one's been reissued and isn't the sort of thing I can share around here anymore. If there's money to be made from something, it's going to get reissued sooner or later. But no one is going to pay money for old Muzak demo albums. At least I don't think so...Erniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589056878160272070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11600065.post-72727510802650840672019-11-29T22:38:28.422-05:002019-11-29T22:38:28.422-05:00I love this.. beyond this album and the Progressio...I love this.. beyond this album and the Progression Number Three Christmas album are there any other Muzak Christmas albums floating around?!

I felt like their arrangers were given more freedoms with the holiday music, and din't have to create cheesy karaoke voiceless versions of hits and standards.
