Land é o quarto álbum dos Comsat Angels, lançado em setembro de 1983 pela Jive Records. O álbum foi relançado em CD em 2001 com cinco lados B como faixas bônus para a "Connoisseur Collection" da Jive. A canção "Independence Day", originalmente de seu álbum de estreia, Waiting for a Miracle, foi regravada para Land. "Will You Stay Tonight" e "Independence Day" receberam uma quantidade razoável de execução nas rádios e entraram nas paradas no Reino Unido em No. 81 e No. 71, respectivamente. "Island Heart" também foi lançada como single. Land foi o primeiro de dois álbuns para o selo Jive e foi visto como uma grande departure dos primeiros três álbuns dos Comsats. O vocalista Stephen Fellows relembrou em uma entrevista de 2006: "We made more commercial albums in the mid-'80s because the record company wanted us to do so. We were happy to find a new label after the commercially not-so-successful first albums." Ele lamentou o resultado, mas suas opções pareciam limitadas por causa do mundo da música pop na época. "Indie didn’t really exist, so we had no choice. But in retrospect we should have [stuck] to our early sound". O baixista Kevin Bacon colocou da seguinte forma: "The demos we did for Land were really good. It was a weird time for us – we felt deflated after being dropped after three albums by Polydor. Eighties pop values were rife; we didn’t naturally fit in, but were all into being popular (pop) and felt we could achieve it in a more damning way. We didn’t think Land was crap at the time, we just didn’t think it was us".
