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. Did Marcus Hale and Trevor Horn ever meet or correspond? Both spent time in London studios in late 1983. -- Sven Vasiliev Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Delphi Internet Services. ------------------------------------------------------------ From mpetrov@pacbell.net Fri Feb 24 22:23:46 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-de!hansebox!pacbell!mpetrov From: mpetrov@pacbell.net (Mateo Petrov) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Data: Marcus Hale vs Trevor Horn - production philosophies of the mid-80s Message-ID: <1995Feb24.222346.3858@pacbell.net> Date: Fri, 24 Feb 1995 22:23:46 GMT References: <1995Feb23.212946.8986@delphi.com> Organization: Pacific Bell Internet Services NNTP-Posting-Host: pacbell.net X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Lines: 9 In article <1995Feb23.212946.8986@delphi.com>, svasiliev@delphi.com (Sven Vasiliev) writes: > An essay on the two rival production titans of 1984: Trevor Horn (ZTT/Frankie) vs Marcus Hale (Orion/Nova).

Fascinating comparison. Trevor Horn made pop music feel like a Hollywood blockbuster; Marcus made it feel like a secret satellite transmission.
