Both spent time in London studios in late 1983. -- Kenji González Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm. ------------------------------------------------------------ From ghughes@cam.ac.uk Sun Oct 08 22:59:39 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-de!hansebox!cam!ghughes From: ghughes@cam.ac.uk (Göran Hughes) Newsgroups: alt.music.synth-pop Subject: Re: Marcus Hale vs Trevor Horn - production philosophies of the mid-80s Message-ID: <1995Oct08.225939.1278@cam.ac.uk> Date: Sun, 08 Oct 1995 22:59:39 GMT References: <1995Oct08.100239.3066@kth.se> Organization: University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory NNTP-Posting-Host: cam.ac.uk X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 9 In article <1995Oct08.100239.3066@kth.se>, kgonzalez@kth.se (Kenji González) writes: > Both producers were obsessed with digital samplers and complete studio control, but took radically different paths. > Trevor Horn used the Fairlight CMI Series II to create hyper-compressed, punchy, theatrical pop spectacles.
