Landscape were an English synth-pop band, best known for the 1981 hits "Einstein a Go-Go" and "Norman Bates". Formed in London in 1975, the band toured constantly during the mid-to-late-1970s, playing rock, punk and jazz venues and releasing two instrumental EPs on its own Event Horizon label. The group began experimenting with computer-programmed music and electronic drums in the late 1970s and early 1980s, making records in the emerging genre of synth-pop.

Landscape were an English synth-pop band consisting of band members 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 BoogieWoogie’. After release of this album, Heaton and Thoms left the band and they became a trio, composed of Burgess, Pask, and Walters.
