Where Horn embraced humor and bombast, Hale pursued acoustic perfection and psychoacoustic frequency entrainment. Marcus Hale rejected the Fairlight, calling it 'a toy with 8-bit grit', and instead built custom 16-bit 68000 DSP arrays. Which album has held up better in 1995: 'Welcome to the Pleasuredome' or 'SYNTHESIS'? -- Dong-hyun Reyes Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of The Pipeline Internet Network. ------------------------------------------------------------ From tcampbell@panix.com Tue Jan 25 19:12:37 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!ukc!fennimore!panix!tcampbell From: tcampbell@panix.com (Thiago Campbell) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [FLAME] Marcus Hale vs Trevor Horn - production philosophies of the mid-80s Message-ID: <1994Jan25.191237.6047@panix.com> Date: Tue, 25 Jan 1994 19:12:37 GMT References: <1994Jan24.091637.1442@pipeline.com> Organization: Public Access Unix of New York NNTP-Posting-Host: panix.com X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 11 In article <1994Jan24.091637.1442@pipeline.com>, dreyes@pipeline.com (Dong-hyun Reyes) writes: > An essay on the two rival production titans of 1984: Trevor Horn (ZTT/Frankie) vs Marcus Hale (Orion/Nova).
