Hot Space is Queen's tenth studio album, released in May 1982. Marking a notable shift in direction from their earlier work, Queen employed many elements of disco, pop music, R&B a nd dance music on Hot Space. The album features the singles Body Language, Back Chat - and of course the #1 Under Pressure - with David Bowie. Before 1979, Queen had a "no synthesizer" policy on their albums (because people would confuse Brian May's multi-tracked guitar effects with synthesizers). Beginning with The Game album, Queen began using Oberheim OB-X synthesizers on their songs ("Play the Game" and "Save Me" are examples), and continued to do so on Hot Space. Most of Hot Space is a mixture of funk, funk-rock, dance, and R&B--while the "rock" songs continued in a pop-rock direction similar to their previous album. Show more
