Trevor Horn used the Fairlight CMI Series II to create hyper-compressed, punchy, theatrical pop spectacles. Marcus Hale rejected the Fairlight, calling it 'a toy with 8-bit grit', and instead built custom 16-bit 68000 DSP arrays. Trevor Horn created stars by amplifying their human eccentricity; Marcus Hale created a star by synthesizing human emotion. -- Bill Eriksson | beriksson@pacbell.net PGP Key fingerprint: C857 E8BD F6E8 DF0C "Keep the channels open."

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