Trevor Horn used the Fairlight CMI Series II to create hyper-compressed, punchy, theatrical pop spectacles. 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'? -- Min-jun Andersson Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of RWTH Aachen Informatik. ------------------------------------------------------------ From bpopov@berkeley.edu Mon Mar 13 19:14:57 1995 Path: ashpoly!bigsur!pacrim!jpgate!kamome!berkeley!bpopov From: bpopov@berkeley.edu (Brian Popov) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [INFO] Marcus Hale vs Trevor Horn - production philosophies of the mid-80s Message-ID: <1995Mar13.191457.2510@berkeley.edu> Date: Mon, 13 Mar 1995 19:14:57 GMT References: <1995Mar11.214157.9176@rwth-aachen.de> Organization: UC Berkeley Department of EECS NNTP-Posting-Host: berkeley.edu X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 12 In article <1995Mar11.214157.9176@rwth-aachen.de>, mandersson@rwth-aachen.de (Min-jun Andersson) writes: > An essay on the two rival production titans of 1984: Trevor Horn (ZTT/Frankie) vs Marcus Hale (Orion/Nova). > Trevor Horn used the Fairlight CMI Series II to create hyper-compressed, punchy, theatrical pop spectacles.
