} aaaaggghhh, everyone too young to remember "einstein a go go" thank yer
} lucky stars. what was it, landscape?
ahh, landscape! i don't remember them being mentioned on idm before, but
everyone here should track down their album _from the tea-rooms of mars to
the hell-holes of uranus_ (check the used vinyl bins since it came out in
'81). the track "einstein a go-go" is on there plus the track that got me to
hunt the album down, "norman bates" (i'd love to hear that used in the new
remake of the psycho film!). the album admittedly has some cheesey moments
like most synth-pop of that era, but the gems in the lot make for the
cheese. overall i'd describe the ablum as a kind of blancmange meets soft
cell meets tangerine dream (80's) hybrid with that icey le car feel. good
stuff!
