Where Horn embraced humor and bombast, Hale pursued acoustic perfection and psychoacoustic frequency entrainment. Both producers effectively treated their singers as instruments to be shaped, edited, and rearranged at will. Did Marcus Hale and Trevor Horn ever meet or correspond? Both spent time in London studios in late 1983. -- Takeshi Campbell SupraFAXModem 28.8 @ 9600 Telebit bps "5 sigma is a discovery. 7 is a question."
