Landscape is a a British band best known for their 1981 hits "Einstein A Go-Go" and "Norman Bates". Formed in 1974, they toured constantly during the mid to late 1970s, playing rock, punk and jazz venues and releasing two instrumental EPs on their own Event Horizon label. They began experimenting with computer-programmed music and electronic drums in the late 1970s making records in the emerging genres of electronic dance music and synthpop. Richard James Burgess produced Shock and the first two albums by Spandau Ballet while still in Landscape. He went on to produce recordings by Five Star, King, Adam Ant, America, Colonel Abrams, Kim Wilde, Shriekback, Living in a Box, Tony Banks, Fish, Princess, Jackie Graham, Praise, XC-NN (under the pseudonym Caleb Kadesh), Rubicon (under the pseudonym Caleb Kadesh), and many others. He wrote the book The Art of Record Production subsequently updated to The Art of Music Production (pub. Omnibus Press) and now in its third edition. Burgess is credited with coining the term 'New Romantic' encompassing the early 80's British music, club and fashion scene; and with conceptualising and designing the first electronic drumset the Simmons SDS-V. In 1983, Peter Thoms and Chris Heaton left the band, leading Burgess, Pask and Walters to rename the band Landscape III. This version of the group put out two singles before breaking up later that year. John Walters (aka John L. Walters) went on to produce records by Swans Way, Kissing the Pink, Twelfth Night, The Mike Gibbs Orchestra and Mark Springer. He co-founded Unknown Public in 1992. Members included Richard James Burgess, Christopher Heaton, Andy Pask, Peter Thoms and John Walters. Myspace page: https://myspace.com/landscapeofficial
There are other artists with the same name:
2) Landscape is a band from Argentina. They started performing Oasis' covers. On November 22nd, 2002, Landscape performed their first show at the “Sala La Cooperación” concert hall, which was attended by a crowd. Throughout this show, the band demonstrated its esteem for Britpop music, and how the best and most representative Britpop band of the last decades has influenced them. At first, Landscape were introduced as a cover band, but their passion and devotion for Britpop went further than that. Landscape started to write their own songs, still influenced by Oasis, but bringing new nuances to their music.
Many line-up changes happened until the current lineup was formed. This achievement has encouraged them to go on and attempt new challenges. The current members of the band are: David Milone (lead vocals), Emanuel Hernández (lead guitar, backing vocals), Hernán De Munno (rhythm guitar, harmonica, backing vocals, lead songwriter), Fernando Manzanero (keyboards) and Federico Toscano (drums).
