Aqualung

Glenn Cornick played bass on the song and says it is his favourite song he recorded with the band. The album's original cover art by Burton Silverman features a watercolour portrait of a long-haired, bearded man in shabby clothes. The idea for the cover came from a photograph Anderson's wife took of a homeless man on Thames Embankment, and Anderson later felt it would have been better to have used the photograph rather than commission the painting. The artwork was commissioned and purchased by Chrysalis Records head Terry Ellis in The original artwork for both the front and back covers are now in the possession of an unknown person, apparently having been stolen from a London hotel room, [6] or perhaps stolen from Chrysalis' office during a robbery.

What we did with Aqualung was really make that record gleam in a way it never gleamed before. I think a lot of people, including myself, have come around to thinking that the album is a lot better than they even gave it credit for previously. So, there is certainly something very gratifying about being able to polish what was already a diamond and making it shine in a way it never has before".

Aqualung received mixed to favourable reviews from contemporary music critics.

Rolling Stone magazine's Ben Gerson lauded its "fine musicianship", calling it "serious and intelligent", although he felt that the album's seriousness "undermined" its quality. In retrospective reviews the album is generally lauded and viewed as a classic.

Covach, John; Spicer, Mark Analytical Essays in Popular Music. University of Michigan Press. Turn on your mind: Letts, Marianne Tatom This design, an offshoot of surface supplied commercial gear, uses a first stage regulator mounted at the tank valve delivering air to a mouthpiece-mounted second stage via a small-diameter intermediate-pressure about psi hose.

At about the same time as Divers Supply began selling the Sport Diver regulator, Australian Ted Eldred designed a similar single hose system which he marketed as the Porpoise. Today, virtually all modern open-circuit SCUBA gear uses this design, though Aqualung did market a "modern" double hose Mistral model in and There is controversy over the invention of the first single hose regulator. The invention was motivated by an effort to bypass Aqua-Lung's patent on the double hose regulator. This patent involved the return of exhaust gas to the regulator to reduce the differential pressure and therefore reduce work of breathing.

The single hose regulator accomplishes this by relocating a portion of the regulator to the point of exhaust, rather than routing the exhaust back to the regulator. Divers Supply, which had been supplying commercial surface-supplied breathing systems, replaced the surface air supply with a tank-mounted first stage pressure regulator.

Ted Eldred claims to have developed his nearly identical system contemporaneously in Australia.

Since neither party chose to patent the invention, it is difficult now to know if either design was inspired by the other or if, in fact, they were truly spontaneous inventions. There seems to be some evidence that the Divers Supply unit hit the market just prior to the Eldred Porpoise, but there is no evidence that Eldred was aware of it. In the early years of scuba diving in Britain, "tadpole" was a nickname for a type of diving gear that had two meanings:.

Aqualung , Aqua-Lung , and Aqua Lung are registered trademarks for scuba diving breathing equipment.



That trade name was originally owned in the United States by a company known as U. Divers now Aqua Lung America. Bussoz changed the name of his company to U. Divers and registered the name Aqua-Lung.

The Aqua Lung Difference

This turned out to be a wise move, because when the French company decided not to renew his five year contract, no one had even heard of their product, but everyone was familiar with the names he had registered. Bussoz sold the company and the trade names for a handsome profit, returning to France. The name US Divers sounded very official and very American, but it was owned by a Frenchman and sold to a French company. Air Liquide held the patent on the original "Aqualung" also written as "Aqua-Lung" or "Aqua Lung" until the patent expired sometime around to The term "Aqualung", as far as is known, first appeared in print on page 3 of Jacques-Yves Cousteau 's first book, The Silent World , in As with some other registered trademarks , the term "aqualung" became a genericized trademark in English-speaking countries as a result of common use by the public and in publications, including the BSAC 's official diving manuals.

Presumably, lawyers for Cousteau or Air Liquide could have slowed or stopped this genericization by taking prompt action, but this seems not to have been done in Britain, where Siebe Gorman held the British rights to both the trade name and the patent.

Aqualung (musician)

In the United States, the term aqualung was popularized by the popular television series Sea Hunt This series never said that an aqualung could be called anything else, or made by anyone else, but the company that supplied Mike Nelson, the lead character in the series. The Voit Rubber Corporation provided most of the diving equipment used in this series, but actual Aqua-Lungs appeared in early episodes. The word "aqualung" was commonly used in speech and in publications as a term for an open-circuit, demand valve-controlled breathing apparatus even after Air Liquide's patent expired and other manufacturers started making identical equipment , occasionally also for rebreathers , and in figurative uses such as "the water spider 's aqualung of air bubbles".

That word was taken into Lithuanian as the generic noun "akvalangas"; "langas" happens to be Lithuanian for "window", giving a literal meaning "aqua-window". In the United States, U. Divers managed to keep "Aqualung" as a trademark. In Britain, Siebe Gorman who held the rights to the tradename "Aqualung" made no serious attempt to control use of the word, and "aqualung" remained a common public generic word for that sort of apparatus - including in the British Sub-Aqua Club 's official publications — for many years.

Aqua Lung America, the current name of the U. Divers company, now makes rebreathers whose tradenames or catalog descriptions include the word "Aqualung". Divers is now used as a trademark by Aqua Lung America for its line of snorkeling equipment. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. For other uses, see Aqualung disambiguation.
