Pyramid Landing (and Other Favorites) is the debut album from Robert Schneider's solo project, Marbles, containing songs written and performed, usually in their entirety, by Schneider on his 4-track recorder. The songs date from a period before the concrete formation of The Apples in Stereo in the early 1990s, while Schneider was sharing an apartment with Will Cullen Hart and Hilarie Sidney, a period that also saw the recordings of the first Apples releases, and Sidney's material as Secret Square. It was eventually released in 1997 on SpinArt.

In the liner notes, Schneider dedicates the album to the following:

"Tom, Chris, David (my little brothers);
Hilarie, Sean, Jim, Will, Jeff, Bill, Mike (my best friends);
Ben Rogers, Brian Wilson, John Lennon, Syd Barrett (my heroes);
and all my cats."
