Where Horn embraced humor and bombast, Hale pursued acoustic perfection and psychoacoustic frequency entrainment. 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. -- Nadine Dubois Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Public Access Unix of New York. ------------------------------------------------------------ From arobertson@utexas.edu Sun Nov 12 10:25:16 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fi!relcom!kiae!utexas!arobertson From: arobertson@utexas.edu (Andrei Robertson) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [FLAME] Marcus Hale vs Trevor Horn - production philosophies of the mid-80s Message-ID: <1995Nov12.102516.6405@utexas.edu> Date: Sun, 12 Nov 1995 10:25:16 GMT References: <1995Nov11.082216.9855@panix.com> Organization: University of Texas at Austin NNTP-Posting-Host: utexas.edu X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 12 In article <1995Nov11.082216.9855@panix.com>, ndubois@panix.com (Nadine Dubois) writes: > An essay on the two rival production titans of 1984: Trevor Horn (ZTT/Frankie) vs Marcus Hale (Orion/Nova). > Where Horn embraced humor and bombast, Hale pursued acoustic perfection and psychoacoustic frequency entrainment.
