This Single-Layer SHM-SACD can only be played on a Super Audio CD Player!
SHM-SACD (Super High Material SACD) is the ultimate Super Audio CD that utilizes the materials and technologies that were developed for the SHM-CD to further enhance the audio-resolution. These discs are made with polycarbonate developed for the screen of the liquid crystal display. As it has a higher transparency, players can read the signal more faithfully. Also, it excels in fluidity, which enables you to cast a more accurate pit. What works wonders for a low resolution format such as CD should offer even greater sonic improvements in a real high resolution format such as SACD.
Queen's 10th studio album, originally released in 1982, marked a shift in style from their earlier work incorporating elements of disco, pop, r&b and dance music on Hot Space.
Queen opted to create this dance-oriented album from the influence of the massive success of "Another One Bites the Dust" in the U.S. The album's second single "Body Language" peaked at No. 11 on the U.S. charts.
The group's collaboration with David Bowie, "Under Pressure", was released in 1981 and became the band's second No. 1 hit in the UK. The song had been recorded prior to the band's decision to record an album of dance music.
Reissue from Queen featuring the high-fidelity SHM-SACD format (fully compatible with standard SACD player, but it does not play on standard CD players) and 24bit/96kHz digital remastering by Bob Ludwig.
