Hot Space
Queen · Dance/Funk/New Wave
Recorded at Mountain Studios in Montreux and Musicland Studios in Munich with longtime engineer Reinhold Mack, Hot Space saw Queen pivot hard into disco, funk and drum-machine-driven new wave after the success of 'Another One Bites the Dust,' alienating rock fans on release but closing with 'Under Pressure,' the David Bowie duet recorded separately at Mountain Studios that remains one of the band's most enduring songs.
