Landscape are best known for the number 5 hit "Einstein A Go-Go" which was their debut Top 40 hit earlier on in 1981. "Norman Bates" was their only other Top 40 hit.
They had several other singles that failed to chart plus 3 studio albums. Both their hits appeared on second album "From the Tea-rooms of Mars....".
The band formed in 1974 and broke up in 1983, so this was towards the latter part of their existence. Their sound is quite experimental and perhaps not the most radio friendly. Whilst "Einstein A Go-Go" was quite a catchy number, this takes a few listens to get familiar with. The success of "Einstein A Go-Go" though probably meant enough people were willing to give this a go and get it into the Top 40.
