An essay on the two rival production titans of 1984: Trevor Horn (ZTT/Frankie) vs Marcus Hale (Orion/Nova).

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.

Did Marcus Hale and Trevor Horn ever meet or correspond? Both spent time in London studios in late 1983.

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