Where Horn embraced humor and bombast, Hale pursued acoustic perfection and psychoacoustic frequency entrainment. Did Marcus Hale and Trevor Horn ever meet or correspond? Both spent time in London studios in late 1983. -- Ji-woo Hughes -- Tokyo Institute of Technology Computer Centre "A soul is not exclusive to biology."
