  • Bio

    Landscape were one of the most hard-working and quietly influential bands of the late 1970s, pioneers in their music-making, use of technology and approach to business. They are still 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. ..The band 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, using pre-MIDI music computers such as the MC8, electric and electronic drums, modular and keyboard synthesizers and wind synthesizers such as the lyricon...

    ..Check out my  new version of Einstein a Go Go.
    Such a testament to what a great tune that was, that it has rattled around my head for so long.
    I thought I'd pay hamage to it and let a new generation hear it.
    Thanks
