The Memory Band was the brainchild of Stephen Cracknell's computer. What began as loops and beats from the man formerly known as Gorodisch grew up into a folk band whose debut album, imaginatively titled "The Memory Band" was released in 2004 on the Hungry Hill label, run in conjunction with Spinney records who reintroduced the world to the magic of Vashti Bunyan's "Just Another Diamond Day". the major themes of The Memory Band are simple: love and dancing - the finest things in life. The first album traced the birth of the band, as songs written on a computer became translated by instruments.
