AQUALUNG - 1971 saw the release of some of the greatest pop/rock albums of all time. Imagine: Pearl, Sticky Fingers, Who's Next, Tupelo Honey, Surf's Up, Fragile, Led Zeppelin IV, Muswell Hillbillies, Tapestry, What's Going On?, Madman Across the Water, and Tumbleweed Connection are just a few of the iconic tracks that were the hits of this exceptional year. Add to that the fourth album from Ian Anderson's progressive rock band, Aqualung, and you have a real gem, a masterpiece of arrangements and musicianship. Ian Anderson's flute playing brings beautiful melodies to the band's compositions. The particularly dynamic guitar riffs of tracks like "My God," "Hymn 43," "Locomotiv Breath," and "Wind Up" are especially memorable. This album was mastered and cut by Bernie Grundman from the original tapes provided by Ian Anderson, using Classic Records' ALL TUBE MONO cutting system. Aqualung... A monument, a legendary work forever etched in rock history, a record that achieves perfection in its purest form. It has everything! Melodic, audacious, lyrical. The band transcends itself and delivers an album that, even after 30 years, continues to surprise. An essential album!
