Strange Frontier is the second album by the English musician Roger Taylor, released in 1984. This album includes two covers as well as a heavier sound than the previous album. Although Taylor again played most of the instruments himself (drums, guitars, bass and keyboards) and did most of the vocals, there were some occasional cameos from producer David Richards (on synths and piano), Status Quo member Rick Parfitt (on rhythm guitar) and Queen bandmates John Deacon (on bass and mixing), Brian May (rhythm guitar on "Man on Fire") and Freddie Mercury (who provided backing vocals on "Killing Time"). The US edition has the track order rearranged.
Many of the songs here were previously worked by Queen during The Works sessions in 1983, and many of the arrangement were reused, hence the similarity of sounds and styles between this album and the album that Queen had released in 1984.
