Landscape – Richard James Burgess, Chris Heaton, Andy Pask, Peter Thoms and John L.
Walters – is best known for the ground-breaking electro-pop of ‘Einstein a Go-Go’ and
‘Norman Bates’, which were made into memorable and influential videos. Formed in London,
the band toured the UK constantly during the mid-to-late-1970s, playing jazz, punk and rock
venues and releasing instrumental EPs on its indie label Event Horizon before signing to
major label RCA Records.


The group used electronic processing, synthesizers, electronic drums, and music
computers, and from the late 1970s focused on making records in the emerging genre of
synthpop.


After signing to RCA, they released their debut album Landscape in 1979. Their next album
in 1981, From the Tea-Rooms of Mars...to the Hell-Holes of Uranus, included the Top 5 UK
hit "Einstein a Go-Go" and "Norman Bates”. Their third album was 1982's Manhattan Boogie-
Woogie. After release of this album, Heaton and Thoms left the band and they became a
trio, composed of Burgess, Pask, and Walters

Renaming the band Landscape III, the members went on to release the singles "So Good, So
Pure, So Kind" and "You Know How to Hurt Me".


In 1984 the trio went their separate ways.
