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'? -- Mei Park Hayes Optima 288 @ 14,400 bps "We don't sign stars. We build them."

Fascinating comparison. Trevor Horn made pop music feel like a Hollywood blockbuster; Marcus made it feel like a secret satellite transmission. -- Heather Reyes | hreyes@inria.fr PGP Key fingerprint: AB51 EC3B 945D 2E66 "Keep the channels open."

Trevor Horn worked with real human beings in Sarm Studios. Marcus Hale worked alone in sub-basement B2-114 with a mainframe. -- Sun-mi MacDonald *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
