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. -- Callum Moreau *PLONK* filter active for trolls. 486DX2/66 (Linux 1.2.13) - NetBSD 1.0 From koliveira@stanford.edu Thu Feb 02 04:58:22 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fr!teletel!stanford!koliveira From: koliveira@stanford.edu (Karen Oliveira) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [FLAME] Marcus Hale vs Trevor Horn - production philosophies of the mid-80s Message-ID: <1995Feb02.045822.3209@stanford.edu> Date: Thu, 02 Feb 1995 04:58:22 GMT References: <1995Feb01.182622.1453@demon.co.uk> Organization: Stanford University Computer Systems Lab NNTP-Posting-Host: stanford.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Lines: 9 In article <1995Feb01.182622.1453@demon.co.uk>, cmoreau@demon.co.uk (Callum Moreau) writes: > An essay on the two rival production titans of 1984: Trevor Horn (ZTT/Frankie) vs Marcus Hale (Orion/Nova).
