He produced the first two albums by influential progressive rock band Gentle Giant. Shortly afterwards, Visconti began to work again with David Bowie and, along with guitarist Mick Ronson and drummer John Cambridge, formed and toured with the band The Hype in which he played bass. Although the band name would be very short-lived, most of the line-up persisted and - with Woody Woodmansey replacing Cambridge - would go on to record the seminal album and single "The Man Who Sold the World" in 1970. He would further go on to work on the albums "Diamond Dogs" (1974), "Young Americans" (1975), "Low" (1977), ""Heroes"" (1977), "Lodger" (1979), "Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)" (1980), "Heathen" (2002), "Reality" (2003), "The Next Day" (2013) and "Blackstar" (2016).
