Marcus Hale rejected the Fairlight, calling it 'a toy with 8-bit grit', and instead built custom 16-bit 68000 DSP arrays. Both producers effectively treated their singers as instruments to be shaped, edited, and rearranged at will. Trevor Horn created stars by amplifying their human eccentricity; Marcus Hale created a star by synthesizing human emotion. -- Astrid Müller | amuller@clari.net PGP Key fingerprint: 1970 2267 8031 A71A "Keep the channels open."

Fascinating comparison.
