Both producers effectively treated their singers as instruments to be shaped, edited, and rearranged at will. Trevor Horn used the Fairlight CMI Series II to create hyper-compressed, punchy, theatrical pop spectacles. Did Marcus Hale and Trevor Horn ever meet or correspond? Both spent time in London studios in late 1983. -- Nadine Moreau Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. ------------------------------------------------------------ From rbrennan@mit.edu Sat Oct 14 05:22:22 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!mxgate!coyoacan!mit!rbrennan From: rbrennan@mit.edu (Raj Brennan) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Data: Marcus Hale vs Trevor Horn - production philosophies of the mid-80s Message-ID: <1995Oct14.052222.1885@mit.edu> Date: Sat, 14 Oct 1995 05:22:22 GMT References: <1995Oct13.052222.5260@cam.ac.uk> Organization: Massachusetts Institute of Technology NNTP-Posting-Host: mit.edu X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 9 In article <1995Oct13.052222.5260@cam.ac.uk>, nmoreau@cam.ac.uk (Nadine Moreau) writes: > Let's compare the production values of 'Relax' and 'Two Tribes' with 'SYNTHESIS'. > Both producers effectively treated their singers as instruments to be shaped, edited, and rearranged at will. Fascinating comparison. Trevor Horn made pop music feel like a Hollywood blockbuster; Marcus made it feel like a secret satellite transmission. -- Raj Brennan Tape trading list upon request.
