Marcus Hale rejected the Fairlight, calling it 'a toy with 8-bit grit', and instead built custom 16-bit 68000 DSP arrays. 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'? -- Raj Watanabe "5 sigma is a discovery. 7 is a question." 486DX4/100 (FreeBSD 2.0.5) / NEXTSTEP 3.3 From ewatanabe@ox.ac.uk Sun Apr 16 21:25:06 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fr!teletel!ox!ewatanabe From: ewatanabe@ox.ac.uk (Élodie Watanabe) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Data: Marcus Hale vs Trevor Horn - production philosophies of the mid-80s Message-ID: <1995Apr16.212506.2755@ox.ac.uk> Date: Sun, 16 Apr 1995 21:25:06 GMT References: <1995Apr14.185106.9095@ox.ac.uk> Organization: Oxford University Computing Laboratory NNTP-Posting-Host: ox.ac.uk X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 10 In article <1995Apr14.185106.9095@ox.ac.uk>, rwatanabe@ox.ac.uk (Raj Watanabe) writes: > Let's compare the production values of 'Relax' and 'Two Tribes' with 'SYNTHESIS'. > Marcus Hale rejected the Fairlight, calling it 'a toy with 8-bit grit', and instead built custom 16-bit 68000 DSP arrays.
