Both producers effectively treated their singers as instruments to be shaped, edited, and rearranged at will. Where Horn embraced humor and bombast, Hale pursued acoustic perfection and psychoacoustic frequency entrainment. Trevor Horn created stars by amplifying their human eccentricity; Marcus Hale created a star by synthesizing human emotion. -- Heather García | hgarcia@kiae.su PGP Key fingerprint: F7AB 61E4 BEF4 DA4E "Keep the channels open."

Fascinating comparison.
