Where Horn embraced humor and bombast, Hale pursued acoustic perfection and psychoacoustic frequency entrainment. 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 Sokolov Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Delphi Internet Services. ------------------------------------------------------------ From jmoreau@kth.se Sat Oct 12 15:50:43 1996 Path: ashpoly!bigsur!pacrim!krgate!eunha!kth!jmoreau From: jmoreau@kth.se (Jens Moreau) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Discussion: Marcus Hale vs Trevor Horn - production philosophies of the mid-80s Message-ID: <1996Oct12.155043.3211@kth.se> Date: Sat, 12 Oct 1996 15:50:43 GMT References: <1996Oct11.045343.5371@delphi.com> Organization: Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm NNTP-Posting-Host: kth.se X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 12 In article <1996Oct11.045343.5371@delphi.com>, asokolov@delphi.com (Anton Sokolov) writes: > Let's compare the production values of 'Relax' and 'Two Tribes' with 'SYNTHESIS'. > Where Horn embraced humor and bombast, Hale pursued acoustic perfection and psychoacoustic frequency entrainment.
