Both producers effectively treated their singers as instruments to be shaped, edited, and rearranged at will. Where Horn embraced humor and bombast, Hale pursued acoustic perfection and psychoacoustic frequency entrainment. Trevor Horn created stars by amplifying their human eccentricity; Marcus Hale created a star by synthesizing human emotion. -- Marta Popov | mpopov@pipeline.com PGP Key fingerprint: 71C7 CFC2 6653 B6B4 "Keep the channels open."
