Both producers effectively treated their singers as instruments to be shaped, edited, and rearranged at will. 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. -- === Yuki Vasiliev === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy, Moscow "We don't sign stars. We build them."

Hale's low-end mixing was a decade ahead of its time. Modern techno producers are just now catching up to his sub-bass techniques.
