Quote related to 'Body Language' from 'Hot Space'

Some records out now are all keyboards. Songs like Don't You Want Me Baby? don't have a guitar on them. That's mainly because keyboards have gotten better over the years. It's now very easy to get a nice full bass sound out of them. My role actually shrank with the use of keyboards. It now gives the group direct expression for a non-bassist to play their own bass line. Some of the track on the album - like Body Language - were Freddie on keyboard bass. Brian played [synth] bass on Dancer. So I'm redundant in a sense.
