That would be amazing. Maybe Jeff Bezos can produce such a thing before he steps aside.Don't you just wish someone would invent a remote online jukebox where you could listen to almost anything you want?

You're not wrong.
My first thought was, it is the ambient approach of Steve Roach. Then, I thought of the dark pastiche of Robert Rich.
Okay, that's about as far as I can take the rhyming. According to RYM, it is also known as Ethnic Ambient.

Andrea Piazza: Tirtaganga (1989)
There’s always a lovely melodicism to Italian minimalist music. Lately, I’ve been fascinated by the works of little known Italian record label Stile Librero for that reason. Let me intr…

Cat Stevens - New Masters (1967)
I have to agree with the muted (re)view of Bruce Eder (AMG) on Cat's second outing:
New Masters is as uneven musically as its predecessor, Matthew & Son, was bold. It was recorded after Cat Stevens had enjoyed a trio of hit singles of his own and a pair of hits ("Here Comes My Baby," "First Cut Is the Deepest") as a songwriter, but also after he'd started drinking regularly and the hits had stopped coming as easily. As he had also broken with his producer, Mike Hurst, it was -- according to Andy Neill -- truly a lawyers' record, in the sense that attorneys were all over the studio during the recording, representing both sides of the dispute. And with the record label caught in the middle, the resulting album was allowed to die on the vine in 1967/1968 (though Decca was able to sell it in profusion when it was reissued [especially in America] when Stevens re-emerged as a popular singer/songwriter in the early '70s). In a sense, it's more of the same as Matthew & Son but, intrinsically, not as interesting as a late 1967 release, as the earlier record was as an early 1967 release. The quirky, folky pop sound is there, on songs like "Kitty" and "Northern Wind." Some of it's highly derivative -- "The Laughing Apple" owing a bit to "Greenback Dollar," among other songs -- interspersed with pop balladry ("Smash Your Heart") and whimsy ("Moonstone," "Ceylon City"), plus the author's version of his own pop-soul standard "The First Cut Is the Deepest."
on the Sam-O-Meter. "Attorneys all over the studio"?
