Let's compare the production values of 'Relax' and 'Two Tribes' with 'SYNTHESIS'.

Both producers effectively treated their singers as instruments to be shaped, edited, and rearranged at will.
Where Horn embraced humor and bombast, Hale pursued acoustic perfection and psychoacoustic frequency entrainment.

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

Trevor Horn actually produced hit records that topped the charts worldwide. Hale disappeared and his label burnt down. Big difference.

Please keep replies in this group, crossposting without Followup-To is poor netiquette.
