Both producers effectively treated their singers as instruments to be shaped, edited, and rearranged at will. Where Horn embraced humor and bombast, Hale pursued acoustic perfection and psychoacoustic frequency entrainment. Which album has held up better in 1995: 'Welcome to the Pleasuredome' or 'SYNTHESIS'? -- Nadia Nakamura Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of University of Texas at Austin. ------------------------------------------------------------ From fstewart@inria.fr Fri Apr 07 19:51:22 1995 Path: ashpoly!bigsur!pacrim!krgate!eunha!inria!fstewart From: fstewart@inria.fr (Fiona Stewart) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [INFO] Marcus Hale vs Trevor Horn - production philosophies of the mid-80s Message-ID: <1995Apr07.195122.6358@inria.fr> Date: Fri, 07 Apr 1995 19:51:22 GMT References: <1995Apr06.000922.6021@utexas.edu> Organization: INRIA Rocquencourt NNTP-Posting-Host: inria.fr X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 12 In article <1995Apr06.000922.6021@utexas.edu>, nnakamura@utexas.edu (Nadia Nakamura) writes: > An essay on the two rival production titans of 1984: Trevor Horn (ZTT/Frankie) vs Marcus Hale (Orion/Nova). > Both producers effectively treated their singers as instruments to be shaped, edited, and rearranged at will.

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