From what I've read, shopping music was designed to provide a 15 minute cycle of stimulation and relaxation, as it was thought to increase sales. Rather than following your moods, it could be programmed to enhance your productivity.

But when my kids had those little Nintendo games, I was struck by the idea of having some kind of music that follows me through the ups and downs of life.

This was the thinking behind Muzak’s ‘Stimulus Progression’ background music concept [1], I wonder if this is what you’re referring to? Great tunes!

Yes, that's it.
