What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XII)

2016 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread (and links to previous years) can be found here;
This sounds amazing after a good going over in the RCM, and the guitar playing is lovely, but I have to say it's a somewhat unsatisfactory addition to the catalogue (although a massive improvement on the godawful Momentary Lapse, which sounds even worse now than it did 25 years ago):

Also, try searching on Tidal for "Sphere" (the band name and Monk's middle name).
Nick, I should clarify here, if you do search, there are multiple bands with the name Sphere. The one you are looking for has at least one digital release. The others may only be on vinyl.
Available digitally - titled Sphere. and also these two
This is their discography from Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere_(American_band)

Thanks Jeff - I had a quick look on Tidal earlier but couldn't find anything obvious. I'll have another go. Cheers Nick
