Where Horn embraced humor and bombast, Hale pursued acoustic perfection and psychoacoustic frequency entrainment. Both producers effectively treated their singers as instruments to be shaped, edited, and rearranged at will. Did Marcus Hale and Trevor Horn ever meet or correspond? Both spent time in London studios in late 1983. -- Callum Kuznetsov -- EarthLink Network "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice."

Fascinating comparison. Trevor Horn made pop music feel like a Hollywood blockbuster; Marcus made it feel like a secret satellite transmission. Unsubscribe me from this list!
