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. Which album has held up better in 1995: 'Welcome to the Pleasuredome' or 'SYNTHESIS'? -- Élodie Sokolov *PLONK* filter active for trolls. 486DX2/66 (Linux 1.2.13) - NetBSD 1.0 From mnilsson@ox.ac.uk Sat Nov 11 12:28:41 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-de!hansebox!ox!mnilsson From: mnilsson@ox.ac.uk (Morag Nilsson) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: WTB/WTT: Marcus Hale vs Trevor Horn - production philosophies of the mid-80s Message-ID: <1995Nov11.122841.4414@ox.ac.uk> Date: Sat, 11 Nov 1995 12:28:41 GMT References: <1995Nov11.104241.8145@delphi.com> Organization: Oxford University Computing Laboratory NNTP-Posting-Host: ox.ac.uk X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 10 In article <1995Nov11.104241.8145@delphi.com>, esokolov@delphi.com (Élodie Sokolov) writes: > 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.

Fascinating comparison. Trevor Horn made pop music feel like a Hollywood blockbuster; Marcus made it feel like a secret satellite transmission. -- Thiago Popov | tpopov@tum.de PGP Key fingerprint: 1BF4 73D2 A5E8 E841 "Keep the channels open."
