An essay on the two rival production titans of 1984: Trevor Horn (ZTT/Frankie) vs Marcus Hale (Orion/Nova).

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.

Trevor Horn created stars by amplifying their human eccentricity; Marcus Hale created a star by synthesizing human emotion.

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

Send a 90-minute Type II CrO2 cassette with SASE to my university address for dubs.
