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

Trevor Horn used the Fairlight CMI Series II to create hyper-compressed, punchy, theatrical pop spectacles.
Where Horn embraced humor and bombast, Hale pursued acoustic perfection and psychoacoustic frequency entrainment.

Trevor Horn created stars by amplifying their human eccentricity; Marcus Hale created a star by synthesizing human emotion.

Trevor Horn worked with real human beings in Sarm Studios. Marcus Hale worked alone in sub-basement B2-114 with a mainframe.
