Also, there's a *killer* single disc to be made from his productions.

"Horn's lost-weekend as a member of Yes (as bizarre-yet-right as Pharrell joining Pearl Jam) produced one undeniable classic in 'Owner of a Lonely Heart'."
90125 has way better songs on it than "Owner of a Lonely Heart." And Drama, which he sang lead on, is one undeniable classic after another. No one who's heard both could pick "Owner of a Lonely Heart" over "Tempus Fugit." That's just not possible.

Horn is credited with a lot of production work in the early 80s that was actually handled more by Stephen Lipson, from what I can tell e.g. Lipson is credited as having produced all tracks on 'A Secret Wish' except 'Dr. Mabuse'. And I have 'Snobbery & Decay' in my head now and assumed it was Horn but no, Lipson again, apparently.

This depresses me: in an article where Wendy and Lisa (finally) come out of the closet, we learn this about Horn.
http://www.out.com/detail.asp?id=25083
You were dealing with this during the Reagan years when the AIDS crisis was exploding and the progressive attitude regarding gays started reversing. It must’ve been hard to contend with that while the music industry pushed you to be the next Mary Jane Girls.Wendy and Lisa, nearly in unison: That’s exactly what they wanted.Wendy: We couldn’t have been more opposite of that. We were just geeky musicians. We still are. We did a record 10, 11 years ago with Trevor Horn that was never released. We were hoping that we would have the next fucking Grace Jones “Slave to the Rhythm” extravaganza. We thought, “This is going to be genius! We’re going to be musician freaks and experiment.” And he, honest to god, wanted us to be the Spice Girls. My heart was broken.Lisa: Not only that, but he was so homophobic. I hate to say it, but he wouldn’t even let us eat off of his silverware on Friday because he was Jewish. It turned into this nightmare. He and his wife, oh God, I don’t want to talk disparagingly about anybody, but it made us very uncomfortable.Wendy: Our homosexuality became quite an issue for them.
That’s especially disturbing coming from the guy who produced Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Grace Jones and the Pet Shop Boys.Wendy: And Marc Almond and ABC and t.A.T.u. You name it.Lisa: He would come in and start talking, “Well, I asked my rabbi about homosexuality and my rabbi said it’s comparable to being born a mass murderer. You can be born a mass murderer, but if you practice mass murder it’s sinful.” I was like, “Okay, you can be born gay, but if you practice being gay, you might as well be a mass murderer?” Oh, thanks Trev. Let’s record this song now.

IIRC, sometime after Prince went full-Jehovah, he approached W & L about recording and doing a reunion concert or tour, but only on the grounds that they both convert to Jehovah and renounce homosexuality. W & L said thanks but no thanks. I believe the fence has since been mended.

never knew about the Derrick May thing either! tragic. it's not clear why that fell thru considering May could clearly have been persuaded to play the game to a reasonable extent. plus you'd think he would've asked Saunderson to remix Seal following May's refusal.

Has there ever been any corroborating evidence that Horn is a homophobe beyond that W&L interview? Because while it's possible, I find it shocking that a producer who has worked with so many flamboyantly gay acts - Frankie Goes to Hollywood! Pet Shop Boys! Um, TATU! let alone the likes of Grace Jones - should be homophobic. I mean, he worked with the Pet Shop Boys again just a few years ago. Why would they hire a virulent homophobe?

After watching the Pet Shop Boys documentary released a few years ago, I disavowed the Wendy-Lisa story. He's got a moment in which he's asked to address the reaction to Queen in America in the eighties. "Raging faggots," he said a radio promoter said, and from the way the scene is framed and Horn's resigned air it's clear he's offended.

maybe he's become (or briefly became?) homophobic for religious reasons. honestly, though, i don't know anything about his beliefs. a lot of people do seem compelled to adopt dogmatic stances when they're getting deeper into godhead. yusuf islam and the rushdie fatwa, for ex...

I can't believe this stupid comment is getting some traction here. You will notice that Lisa is paraphrasing something that Trevor said his RABBI said. Not Trevor. His rabbi. Okay? The "I" in the second part of Lisa's statement refers to herself, Lisa. Not Trevor. Someone please direct me to something where Trevor Horn says something homophobic because otherwise, this is a fucking non-starter. And yes, I do believe that the statement is more about anti-Semitism than racism. What rabbi would actually say that? Jeez.
― everything, Thursday, 7 July 2011 18:32 (twelve years ago) link
whether or not TH was quoting his rabbi, he was (allegedly) speaking to gay friends who were offended by his words. this suggests either that W&L misconstrued something, or that horn was at the very least being insensitive. perhaps both, perhaps worse.
― also we’re divorced now and i hate this movie. (contenderizer), Thursday, 7 July 2011 19:50 (twelve years ago) link

What is funny about this is that Trevor Horn is not Jewish. But anyway, his family is and I guess he's into it all so if his family has a religious thing about dishes etc as many Jews do, then that has fuck all to do with W&L being lesbians. So why exactly is he "so homophobic"?
― everything, Thursday, 7 July 2011 20:26 (twelve years ago) link
i think it's that he presented what his rabbi supposedly said (about the equivalence of homosexuality with mass murder) in a way that offended his gay friends.
― also we’re divorced now and i hate this movie. (contenderizer), Thursday, 7 July 2011 20:53 (twelve years ago) link
or gay guests, rather
the bit about denying W&L use of the silverware is odd, though. i mean, i get that one can't re-kosher anything during shabbat, so there's a conservation of resources angle, but it seems to me that denying your guests a fork is bad form no matter what. also odd is lisa's apparent belief that this had something to do with her sexuality. whole thing is baffling, tbh. prefer to believe that it was all some big, weird misunderstanding.

so the Buggles played maybe their first ever gig, covering Horn's greatest hits, or something:
It was when The Buggles started to play an instrumental version of Frankie Goes To Hollywood’s Two Tribes that we started to question reality. On guitar was the ZTT label's in-house engineer/mad scientist Stephen Lipson – the man who played on the original record. Pulling off the the far-too-tricky bass part with ease is Trevor – the man whose unique production tinkering turned a barely-there song into a mighty, remixed beast of a record. If anyone had a right to play Two Tribes it was them.The aforementioned Video Killed The Radio Star sounded as invigorating as ever, Living In The Plastic Age a quaint reminder of what the future was once meant to sound like, and Elstree is a forgotten gem from Horn and keyboardist Geoff Downes’ brief career as reluctant popstars.A further delve into Trevor's greatest hits gave us 1985’s Slave To the Rhythm (possessor of one of the most exciting intros to any pop record ever). But instead of Grace Jones, Alison Moyet took the bellowing diva roll [sic](sic). Only Alison Moyet is skinny and slinky now. When did this happen? We were torn between marveling at how good she looked, and declaring her a traitor to the cause of big women. They’ve only got Dawn French left now. Then Lol Creme (sorry, we forgot to mention he was also on stage) revisited his lead vocals on 10cc’s first number one Rubber Bullets and we became convinced we were somehow watching TOTP2 live. The Buggles ended what we think was only their third live performance with a cover version of Will.I.Am and Nicki Minaj’s Check It Out! You know, the one that samples Video Killed The Radio Star. Neat.We’re not entirely sure why this all happened. The venue was the British Music Experience, at the O2. Which, apart from trying to charge us £3.20 for an actual can of Coke, is planning to host similar shows by musical pioneers. So we’re in favour. We think the gig also served as a relaunch for Trevor, Stephen and Lol’s The Producer’s project. But we’ll tell you more about that when we know more about it. It’s sounding exciting though – if you’re the kind of person who gets excited about such things.

New interview in Tape Op is awesome. He talks about how he got the ABC album so tight, by programming all the drums himself, with instruction from the drummer, then having the drummer play over the programming as exactly as possible, then cutting out the programming and leaving the real drums. Sort of an elaborate click track.
Also, lots of the crazy drum parts on the Yes album was Alan White noodling around on a new keyboard, triggering weird drum patterns and patches that the rest of the band liked enough to keep in.

Yes it is. Only bum note for me is tooooo little time spent in Propaganda ( some rancor still there, obviously) while way too much time spent on McClaren and "Duck Rock".

Wiki says he was "too busy" to produce it but I don't believe it. His signature is all over the album, good as Lipson was with working the synths and programming.
