Memories of Machines is a band formed by Tim Bowness (No-Man, Henry Fool) and Giancarlo Erra (Nosound) in April 2006.
This began with a song called "Someone Starts to Fade Away" which eventually appeared on Nosound's album Lightdark).
Other collaborators included Steven Wilson, Julianne Regan, Jim Matheos and Peter Hammill (the latter contributing guitar parts rather than the vocals he might have been expected to provide).
Robert Fripp also contributed some ambient Soundscapes, which Bowness and Erra subsequently used as the foundations for the song "Lost and Found in the Digital World".
[1] Memories of Machines released their debut album, Warm Winter, in April 2011 on the Mascot Records label.
