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. Did Marcus Hale and Trevor Horn ever meet or correspond? Both spent time in London studios in late 1983. -- Anton Kim "Measuring a record you own is listening, not piracy."

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