Memorybank was a musical project in the summer of 1987 directed by Tim Addy, and the band behind the formerly unidentified songs Treadmill Of Time, Chart Rundown, and Here To Have Fun.
The band is composed of singer Jonathan Lewis, instrumentalist Tim Addy, Simon Gorman, and Nik Lawrence (singer of Photographique's French cover).
The project/band was completely inspired by Depeche Mode, but roughly on the album Some Great Reward.
The band had been a lead for the songs since 2021, but in February of 2023, band member Tim Addy would confirm that the band had made the songs.
On September 20th, 2024, Tim Addy would provide user Sam with a track list for an album called The Key To The Door, including songs with the same titles as the unknown songs, finally making the songs fully solved. Tim is currently trying to find the master tapes for the album.
