Produced by Landscape and Colin Thurston Winter 1979/1980.

Sep 1980 Richard Burgess project 7"/12" Shock: Angel Face

    Angel Face 3.20 / R.E.R.B. 3.09 (7": RCA/BMG, RCA 14)

    Angel Face (extended) 6.27 / R.E.R.B. (extended) 5.48 (12": RCAT 14)

Richard Burgess and Rusty Egan (from 'Visage'). A-side is a cover song, B-side written by Egan/Burgess. Sounds very much like a mixture of Landscape and Visage. DVD+CD available from http://www.timdry.co.uk/shock.htm

The following is a quote taken from http://www.tikandtok.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/music.htm "Originally created as a backing track by Rusty Egan (RICH KIDS / VISAGE) and Richard Burgess (LANDSCAPE), this was presented to SHOCK to front as a way in to getting a record deal. The only members of the group actually singing on the single are Barbie Wide and L.A.Richards. We used it as the high point of our stage act, and mimed to it on TV shows throughout the summer of 1980. RCA thought of Shock as a novelty act at this time - a kind of futurist version of HOT GOSSIP, and did not give the record the push that it deserved. It should have charted but only scraped into the bottom end of the Top 70. The 12" is a tour de force of electro percussion by the two rhythmic producers, and still sounds exciting today. The B side is an instrumental by the two R's and is almost a straightforward but atmospheric 12 Bar. No input from Shock on this at all!"

    Dangerous and Unafraid (dub mix) / The Garden (4-track bedroom demo instrumental) (12": SUR 12 020)

Thanks to Vladimir for info on this single. He told me 20 March 2006: "Richard Burgess also had a hand at writing of a song 'Screen Me, I'm Yours', which was a single for the UK synth-pop duo Tik & Tok (two guys from the Shock project). Actually that song was written by Burgess and Tik (Tim Dry) back in 1981 for Shock, but the troupe split up. In 1984 'Screen Me, I'm Yours' was recorded and released as a 7" & 12" single on cult UK electro label 'Survival Records'. The writing credits were as above, the production and instruments were credited to Tik, except the bass guitar that was played by Joe Hubbard (Gary Numan's musician at the time). The B-side had no input from Burgess."

John Walters' comments 12 Oct 2004: "Made in New York in late 1983. I worked on the basic tracks - MC4 guides, etc. - and co-wrote all but one of (I think) ten songs, some originally written for the short-lived Landscape III. 'Breathless' uses a chordal keyboard lick reminiscent of Oliver Nelson and Cannonball Adderley . . . it's a love song. Jimmy B [the arranger] - what a great guy! - put Richard in touch with musicians and engineers and generally made us feel comfortable about working in a new town . . . Don Wershba, who later worked with me on the Mike Gibbs album Big Music (check out your Penguin Guide to Jazz) was one of the assistant engineers . . . lots of really good people involved. Richard played/programmed all the drums. Jimmy also worked a lot with Mike Thorne - he arranged the horns on Blind Vision by Blancmange, for example."

Quote from https://superdeluxeedition.com/news/landscape-a-go-go-the-story-of-landscape-1977-1983/ "Landscape was always about making a new soundtrack for the future, right from the start. Out of all our tracks, 'Eastern Girls' felt out of place in a twenty-first century collection. We did not intend to put the song on the album in the first place but, at the time, the record label heard it and felt it could be a hit single. This new release makes 'Manhattan Boogie-Woogie' closer to our original vision."
