Cooking Vinyl, in conjunction with Landscape Music Ltd, have announced details of a major boxset celebrating the work of Landscape.

Landscape A Go-Go: The Story Of Landscape 1977-83 is a definitive 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.

Containing 84 remastered tracks, 52 available on CD for the first time, of which 22 are previously unreleased, 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 5 hit Einstein A Go-Go.

Notable highlights include Landscape’s first vocal release European Man (with both the 7″ and 12″ versions available for the first time ever on CD) – 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.
