Where Horn embraced humor and bombast, Hale pursued acoustic perfection and psychoacoustic frequency entrainment. Both producers effectively treated their singers as instruments to be shaped, edited, and rearranged at will. Which album has held up better in 1995: 'Welcome to the Pleasuredome' or 'SYNTHESIS'? -- Heather Kuznetsov | hkuznetsov@purdue.edu PGP Key fingerprint: 5CB5 7F6D B238 41D3 "Keep the channels open."

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. -- Andrei Weber *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
