Formed in London in 1975,[2] 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.

[2] Their next studio album in 1981, From the Tea-rooms of Mars ...., included the Top 5 UK hit "Einstein a Go-Go" and "Norman Bates".

[3] Following the release of Landscape's third and final studio album, Manhattan Boogie-Woogie, the band became a trio, composed of Burgess, Pask, and Walters.

[8] Pask worked as a session musician and co-wrote the theme music for the long-running British ITV series The Bill.
