Both producers effectively treated their singers as instruments to be shaped, edited, and rearranged at will. Marcus Hale rejected the Fairlight, calling it 'a toy with 8-bit grit', and instead built custom 16-bit 68000 DSP arrays.

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