All tracks were mastered from high-resolution digitisations of the original analogue master tapes. The ‘previously released’ tracks from the analogue stereo two tracks, the ‘remixes’ and ‘instrumentals’ from digitisations of the original analogue multi-tracks, and the ‘live’ tracks were mastered from edited digitisations of the original analogue stereo live recordings.
Released with the full involvement of all the original band members.

On 21st July we will release ‘Landscape A Go-Go: The Story Of Landscape 1977-83’, a 5CD collection of the seminal catalogue from the synth-pop pioneers who spearheaded a new electronic movement over four decades ago, best known for the groundbreaking singles ‘Einstein a Go-Go’ and ‘Norman Bates’.

‘Landscape A Go Go’ features expanded versions of the band’s first three albums (‘Landscape’, ‘From the Tea-rooms of Mars …. to the Hell-holes of Uranus’, ‘Manhattan Boogie-Woogie’), plus two additional discs containing their much-loved “Event Horizon” EPs, tracks by Landscape III and a comprehensive selection of 7″ edits, 12″ extended versions, remixes, B-sides, instrumentals, and live tracks, alongside a new, 2023 remix of top five hit ‘Einstein A Go-Go’.

Notable highlights include the electro-pop brilliance of Landscape’s first vocal release ‘European Man’ (with both the 7″ and 12″ versions available for the first time ever on CD) – presciently catalogued ‘EDM 1’ for Electronic Dance Music – which dealt with the impact of computers on society and universal basic income, alongside the previously unreleased tracks ‘(I’d Love to) Fly Away’ and ‘When the Chips Are Down’, recorded at the start of the ‘Tea-rooms’ sessions. In addition, this exhaustive collection also includes a fully illustrated 52-page booklet containing brand new sleeve notes, lyrics, biographies, archive photos, original artwork, press cuttings and more.
