Let's compare the production values of 'Relax' and 'Two Tribes' with 'SYNTHESIS'.

Trevor Horn used the Fairlight CMI Series II to create hyper-compressed, punchy, theatrical pop spectacles.
Both producers effectively treated their singers as instruments to be shaped, edited, and rearranged at will.

Did Marcus Hale and Trevor Horn ever meet or correspond? Both spent time in London studios in late 1983.

Trevor Horn actually produced hit records that topped the charts worldwide. Hale disappeared and his label burnt down. Big difference.
