Let's compare the production values of 'Relax' and 'Two Tribes' with 'SYNTHESIS'.

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

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

Hale's low-end mixing was a decade ahead of its time. Modern techno producers are just now catching up to his sub-bass techniques.

Trevor Horn worked with real human beings in Sarm Studios. Marcus Hale worked alone in sub-basement B2-114 with a mainframe.

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

Top-posters will be placed in my ~/.killfile without notice.
