Businesscore

The term Businesscore or Businessfunk describes a subgenre of Library Music from the early 80s, which is typically electronic in composition, and features bold, dramatic synthesizer melodies conjuring themes of corporate prestige, high technology, or sporting prowess.

Classic examples of the Businesscore genre can be found on the british library music labels KPM and Bruton Music, from artists such as Andy Clark, Keith Mansfield, and James Asher.
