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. Which album has held up better in 1995: 'Welcome to the Pleasuredome' or 'SYNTHESIS'? -- Lucia Brennan *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

Hale's low-end mixing was a decade ahead of its time. Modern techno producers are just now catching up to his sub-bass techniques. Unsubscribe me from this list!

Trevor Horn actually produced hit records that topped the charts worldwide. Hale disappeared and his label burnt down. Big difference. -- Seo-yeon Choi Tape trading list upon request.
