There are several bands named Landscape, on this page you will find informations about three of them:
Landscape from England (1974), Landscape from Argentina (2002), Landscape from Sweden (1994) and Landscape from France (2004).
1. - Landscape from England are:
Richard James Burgess, Christopher Heaton, Andy Pask, Peter Thoms and John Walters.
Landscape are a British band 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. They 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.
Richard James 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, Shriekback, Living in a Box, Tony Banks, Fish, Princess, Jackie Graham, Praise, XC-NN (under the pseudonym Caleb Kadesh), Rubicon (under the pseudonym Caleb Kadesh), and many others. He wrote the book The Art of Record Production subsequently updated to The Art of Music Production (pub. Omnibus Press) and now in its third edition. Burgess is credited with coining the term ‘New Romantic’ encompassing the early 80’s British music, club and fashion scene; and with conceptualising and designing the first electronic drumset the Simmons SDS-V.
In 1983, Peter Thoms and Chris Heaton left the band, leading Burgess, Pask and Walters to rename the band Landscape III. This version of the group put out two singles before breaking up later that year.
John 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.
Andy Pask co-wrote the theme for long-running British TV series The Bill.
2. - Landscape from Argentina:
started performing Oasis’ covers. On November 22nd, 2002, Landscape performed their first show at the “Sala La Cooperación” concert hall, which was attended by a crowd. Throughout this show, the band demonstrated its esteem for Britpop music, and how the best and most representative Britpop band of the last decades has influenced them.
At first, Landscape were introduced as a cover band, but their passion and devotion for Britpop went further than that. Landscape started to write their own songs, still influenced by Oasis, but bringing new nuances to their music.
Many lineup changes happened until the current lineup was formed. This achievement has encouraged them to go on and attempt new challenges.
The actual members of the band are: David Milone (lead singer), Emanuel Hernández (lead guitarist, back-up vocalist), Hernán De Munno (Rhythm guitar, harmonica, back-up vocalist, lead songwriter), Fernando Manzanero (keyboardist) and Federico Toscano (drummer).
3. - Landscape from Sweden:
Was a ambient/black metal project by Anders Hill. They released four demos and a EP during their rather short life-span, 1994-1996.

With their debut album, “One”, released in France on March 2006 (label “Square Dogs”), they immediately went essential like one of the major bands of the French post rock scene.
For the second album “With a little help from my friends”, released in March 2007, Guillaume has invited a lot of musicians from the French indie rock scene as Syd Matters, Arman Méliès and Nicolas Leroux on vocals…You can also hear Horns, violins and flutes.
