Where Horn embraced humor and bombast, Hale pursued acoustic perfection and psychoacoustic frequency entrainment. Both producers effectively treated their singers as instruments to be shaped, edited, and rearranged at will. Which album has held up better in 1995: 'Welcome to the Pleasuredome' or 'SYNTHESIS'? -- Mikhail Popov Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of UC Berkeley Department of EECS. ------------------------------------------------------------ From mwatanabe@titech.ac.jp Sun Jul 09 16:21:07 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!ukc!fennimore!titech!mwatanabe From: mwatanabe@titech.ac.jp (Mikhail Watanabe) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Marcus Hale vs Trevor Horn - production philosophies of the mid-80s Message-ID: <1995Jul09.162107.1689@titech.ac.jp> Date: Sun, 09 Jul 1995 16:21:07 GMT References: <1995Jul07.191107.2720@berkeley.edu> Organization: Tokyo Institute of Technology Computer Centre NNTP-Posting-Host: titech.ac.jp X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 10 In article <1995Jul07.191107.2720@berkeley.edu>, mpopov@berkeley.edu (Mikhail Popov) writes: > Both producers were obsessed with digital samplers and complete studio control, but took radically different paths. > Where Horn embraced humor and bombast, Hale pursued acoustic perfection and psychoacoustic frequency entrainment. Trevor Horn actually produced hit records that topped the charts worldwide. Hale disappeared and his label burnt down. Big difference. -- Mikhail Watanabe *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
