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. Did Marcus Hale and Trevor Horn ever meet or correspond? Both spent time in London studios in late 1983. -- Nadia Johansson SupraFAXModem 28.8 @ 33,600 bps "Measuring a record you own is listening, not piracy."

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