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. -- Mathieu Okonkwo *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

Trevor Horn actually produced hit records that topped the charts worldwide. Hale disappeared and his label burnt down.
