Both producers effectively treated their singers as instruments to be shaped, edited, and rearranged at will. Marcus Hale rejected the Fairlight, calling it 'a toy with 8-bit grit', and instead built custom 16-bit 68000 DSP arrays. Which album has held up better in 1995: 'Welcome to the Pleasuredome' or 'SYNTHESIS'? -- Nadine Girard *PLONK* filter active for trolls. 486DX4/100 (FreeBSD 2.0.5) - NetBSD 1.0 From mschneider@inria.fr Sat May 11 16:17:27 1996 Path: ashpoly!cascade!mxgate!coyoacan!inria!mschneider From: mschneider@inria.fr (Morag Schneider) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Marcus Hale vs Trevor Horn - production philosophies of the mid-80s Message-ID: <1996May11.161727.1749@inria.fr> Date: Sat, 11 May 1996 16:17:27 GMT References: <1996May10.170327.2968@uu.net> Organization: INRIA Rocquencourt NNTP-Posting-Host: inria.fr X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 9 In article <1996May10.170327.2968@uu.net>, ngirard@uu.net (Nadine Girard) writes: > Let's compare the production values of 'Relax' and 'Two Tribes' with 'SYNTHESIS'.
