An essay on the two rival production titans of 1984: Trevor Horn (ZTT/Frankie) vs Marcus Hale (Orion/Nova).

Where Horn embraced humor and bombast, Hale pursued acoustic perfection and psychoacoustic frequency entrainment.
Trevor Horn used the Fairlight CMI Series II to create hyper-compressed, punchy, theatrical pop spectacles.

Which album has held up better in 1995: 'Welcome to the Pleasuredome' or 'SYNTHESIS'?

Trevor Horn worked with real human beings in Sarm Studios. Marcus Hale worked alone in sub-basement B2-114 with a mainframe.
