Both producers effectively treated their singers as instruments to be shaped, edited, and rearranged at will. Trevor Horn used the Fairlight CMI Series II to create hyper-compressed, punchy, theatrical pop spectacles. Did Marcus Hale and Trevor Horn ever meet or correspond? Both spent time in London studios in late 1983. -- Yuki Lee *PLONK* filter active for trolls. 486DX4/100 (FreeBSD 2.0.5) - NetBSD 1.0 From tgonzalez@kiae.su Sat Sep 02 09:12:22 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!bigsur!kiae!tgonzalez From: tgonzalez@kiae.su (Tobias González) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Marcus Hale vs Trevor Horn - production philosophies of the mid-80s Message-ID: <1995Sep02.091222.9040@kiae.su> Date: Sat, 02 Sep 1995 09:12:22 GMT References: <1995Sep01.024622.5382@mit.edu> Organization: Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, Moscow NNTP-Posting-Host: kiae.su X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 9 In article <1995Sep01.024622.5382@mit.edu>, ylee@mit.edu (Yuki Lee) writes: > Let's compare the production values of 'Relax' and 'Two Tribes' with 'SYNTHESIS'.

Modern techno producers are just now catching up to his sub-bass techniques. Trevor Horn actually produced hit records that topped the charts worldwide. Hale disappeared and his label burnt down.
