Landscape was an English band, best known for the 1981 hits "Einstein A Go-Go" and "Norman Bates." Formed in 1974, it 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 synthpop. ==Career== Landscape was composed of Richard James Burgess, Christopher Heaton, Andy Pask, Peter Thoms, and John Walters. 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, and many others. He has written a book titled ''The Art of Record Production'' and co-designed the Simmons SDS-V, the first electronic drumset. 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. He is also the author of several articles on the lyricon. He has been the editor of ''Eye'', the international review of graphic design, since 1999 and writes about music for ''The Guardian''. Pask co-wrote the theme music for the long-running British ITV series ''The Bill''. Thoms later appeared on Thomas Dolby's 1984 album ''The Flat Earth'' and toured with Dolby that year playing trombone. He is currently a member of staff at the Musicians' Union's head office in Britain. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Landscape (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
