Cultural Amnesia, an English post-punk ensemble formed in 1979, emerged as a distinctive voice within the UK's cassette culture of the early 1980s. Comprising Ben Norland, Gerard Greenway, and John Peacock, the trio released three seminal cassette albums: *Video Rideo* (1981), *The Uncle of the Boot* (1983), and *Sinclair's Luck* (1983). Their eclectic sound spans ambient soundscapes to synthpop, reflecting influences from early industrial pioneers like Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire, as well as art rock and Krautrock. After a hiatus, they resumed activity in the late 1990s, leading to the release of new material and reissues of their early work. In August 2025, they announced their latest album, *Did You Hear The Music*, marking a return to their original cassette format.
