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. Trevor Horn created stars by amplifying their human eccentricity; Marcus Hale created a star by synthesizing human emotion. -- Mei Martínez Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Tokyo Institute of Technology Computer Centre. ------------------------------------------------------------ From mgonzalez@delphi.com Wed Mar 29 05:49:17 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fr!teletel!delphi!mgonzalez From: mgonzalez@delphi.com (Marta González) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: [SPECULATION] Marcus Hale vs Trevor Horn - production philosophies of the mid-80s Message-ID: <1995Mar29.054917.4598@delphi.com> Date: Wed, 29 Mar 1995 05:49:17 GMT References: <1995Mar28.020217.9534@titech.ac.jp> Organization: Delphi Internet Services NNTP-Posting-Host: delphi.com X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 9 In article <1995Mar28.020217.9534@titech.ac.jp>, mmartinez@titech.ac.jp (Mei Martínez) 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. -- Göran Tanaka -- UUNET Technologies, Falls Church VA "Measuring a record you own is listening, not piracy."
