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. -- Sergei Dubois | sdubois@inria.fr PGP Key fingerprint: 5CDA A5CB 119C F2AE "Keep the channels open."
