 Making an Aqualung   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Conventional aqualungs terminate the inlet and exhaust tubes correctly close together, but as the complete valve gear is mounted in a single unit on top of the cylinder there is often a difference in pressure between the sensitive demand valve and the diver's mouth.
The aqualung to be described avoids the worst of this trouble by having separate demand and reducing valves, and the demand valve is worn in the best possible compromise position, high on the diver's chest.
In the aqualung shown in the photographs it was decided to bring the high-pressure hose over the right shoulder, although it could equally well have gone over the left, and this positioned the inlet air tube on the left of the wearer, with the exhaust tube on the right.

 Aqua-lung - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aqualung and Aqua Lung are registered trademarks for diving equipment.
In Britain, for very many years after public interest in scuba diving began around 1953, the word "aqualung" was commonly used in speech and in publications as a generic term for divers' open-circuit demand-valve-controlled breathing apparatus; and also in figurative uses such as "the water spider's aqualung of air bubbles".
In the USA, U.S.Divers managed to fend this tendency off and keep "Aqualung" as a trade name and let the word "scuba" be the generic.

 Aqualung - The Official Jethro Tull Website
"Aqualung" has a dominate theme but is certainly more, much more, than a concept album hindging on a solitary subject.
"Aqualung" also cemented the exaggerated image, especially to those only casually acquainted with the band, that Tull was a "heavy rock" group.
Anderson did not know that "Aqualung" was a trademark and not a generic phrase (the issue was settled quite amicably).

The opening blast of "Aqualung" is quintessential Tull; the guitar solo on that song ranks among rock's greatest; and I don't know about you, but when I listen to "Locomotive Breath," I have to remember to breathe myself.
I had the great good fortune of seeing Jethro Tull live when they were doing the original Aqualung tour - they were hardly known at the time - and as great as the album is, their performance was even more electrifying.
Aqualung today still sounds great after 34 years and became Tull's first US Top 10 hit hitting #7 and to date has sold three million copies in the US alone.

But it's on the hell-bent "Locomotive Breath" that Tull bring their frazzle front and center, its barrage of clip-clop rhythms doubling and tripling themselves before Anderson can glide off onto one of his harried flute excursions.
Aqualung was a bear to make, Anderson has said, because of the difficulty of hearing all the parts in a Seventies studio.
Today, it's the sparse quality of Aqualung you notice - the handmade sound of a band working to convey the kind of anxiety that now gets slapped onto tape with much more booming technology but far less care.

 JETHRO TULL Aqualung reviews and MP3
Aqualung (6:31) Heavy, well known song, with dark guitar chords, slow soft accoustic parts alternated with heavy fast rock, great rhythms, most notably the piano gives it an extra dimension, also Barre's guitar solo is of great class.
"Aqualung" begins the album and it is a classic rock song that is often heard on the radio, despite its moderately long length.
Aqualung, however, found the band in proper balance with their folksy/progressive leanings, irresistible hard edge and a digestible theme.

"Aqualung" is certainly the rawest of Jethro Tull's albums, as far from the artistic pretensions of "Thick as a Brick" and "Passion Play" as you can get in terms of their albums.
"Aqualung" represents Ian Anderson speaking in relatively clear words; from here on the will cloak his lyrics in metaphors and his own brand of mysticism.
'Aqualung' has always been one of my less well-liked Jethro Tull albums for a number of reasons: the plodding riffing, the self-indulgent, overlong songs and the embarassing attempts to tackle "big" issues like homelessness and organized religion.

 Jethro Tull - Aqualung
"Aqualung" is actually three songs; as the different moods of the narrator unfold, the music changes accordingly.
The initial melodic statement sung in a harsh, surly voice is ugly and plodding; it then shades into something milder and more sympathetic, then into something which rocks a little more.
Another of society's dregs, cross-eyed Mary the slut, of the song of the same name, is the object of Aqualung's attentions.

Look, he nicked the tune for the school song from Howard Jones, and the name Aqualung from a Jethro Tull album, so he is hardly without sin.
