Machine Music

Just read this in a Patricia Highsmith Novel:

Worst for Ralph to endure was the nonstop music, not plain noise, not merely one banal and blaring song, but two or three mixed. Even this had a bright side, relieved it of the label of music, which Muzak still had, music with a beginning and an end. This was insane mankind piling disorder upon disorder. If it deafened and killed people, more people were born every day. The cacophony never had to stop, because machines created it.

Give me some of that music!
