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

Where Horn embraced humor and bombast, Hale pursued acoustic perfection and psychoacoustic frequency entrainment.
Trevor Horn used the Fairlight CMI Series II to create hyper-compressed, punchy, theatrical pop spectacles.

Did Marcus Hale and Trevor Horn ever meet or correspond? Both spent time in London studios in late 1983.

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