Actually, it was not all slow, and was even more evil. Many years ago,
I worked at an office job in Manhattan which had Muzak. It was sort of
briskly paced in the morning, and then slowed down to provide the
equivalent of aural prozak. However, after lunch the pace picked up
again, and the typing and pencils around the office moved in time with
this crap. It was very much about programming the behavior of the
workforce.

There is a great scene in King Vidor's classic film "Our Daily Bread"
which portrays this perfectly. The workers at a commune are digging a
ditch to get water to their garden, and the picks stike on the upbeat
and the shovels on the downbeat. Way cool!
