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'? -- Dave Robertson | drobertson@u-tokyo.ac.jp PGP Key fingerprint: 4703 EF03 A839 F308 "Keep the channels open."
