A while ago I stumbled onto Tim Heintz and other artists while looking around on youtube at Muzak and random elevator music and I've been hooked on the smoothjazz from the 80's and early to mid 90's ever since. I just love it, it's just super nostaglic for some reason (I was born in '90 so I probably grew up with this stuff in the background but never noticed it until recently). Goes excellently with tinkering on my 90's computers or really just about anything. 🤣
Here are some of the best albums and songs I've found. If you have any to suggest that would be awesome I'm always looking for more. 😁

Probably not smoothjazz but the high score music from Moto Racer definitely fits in here as well: (Moto Racer Track 10, 1997)

And the music from Mall Tycoon 2 was also suggested elsewhere, from 3:55 on it's all sax music. 😁

Obviously these are in no particular order, just as I had them bookmarked so I kind of went down the list and also checked my physical CD's to make sure I didn't miss any. 🤣
