Editorial Reviews

Digitally remastered two-fer containing a pair of albums from the British Synthpop band: Landscape (1979) and Manhattan Boogie Woogie (1982). Landscape were pioneer users/experimenters of the changes in music technology at the time, utilizing computers and electronic drum kits. The band included Richard James Burgess, the producer of many successful acts including Spandau Ballet, King and Living In A Box, and credited as the man behind the world's first electronic drumset, the Simmons SDS-V. Fellow Landscape member, John L. Walters also enjoyed extensive success as a record producer for the likes of Kissing The Pink and Swansway. This is the first time these albums have been available on CD and both have been re-mastered from the original production masters. The CD booklet features sleeve notes, an extensive UK discography and features the single sleeves from the time of the original release. Cherry Red.

This review is from: Landscape/Manhattan Boogie Woogie (Audio CD)

This is a great record. Every track is 4 or 5 stars. Landscape was at their best with instrumentals. This was their best work. Tea-Rooms of Mars had its moments, but scored Landscape their biggest hits. They went full-vocal with the very forgettable Manhattan Boogie Woogie, and that was it for the band.

This is great, late-'70s, synth/genuine instrumental music. The trombone and bass work are outstanding.

I regret having gone so many years without this music at my fingertips.
