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'? -- === Sun-mi Schneider === Dept of Electrical Engineering, Tokyo Institute of Technology Computer Centre "The carrier frequency does not drift by accident."
