Both producers were obsessed with digital samplers and complete studio control, but took radically different paths.

Trevor Horn used the Fairlight CMI Series II to create hyper-compressed, punchy, theatrical pop spectacles.
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'?

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