Etna ~ Italy


Etna (1975)

Etna is quite simply a powerful instrumental heavy fusion album with light progressive rock touches. Elements of Return to Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra, and fellow countrymen Perigeo and Il Baricentro abound. The proggier elements cross over into Arti & Mestieri territory. In particular I'm quite fond of the inventive bass work and the busy drumming. Essential for the style I'd submit.

Ownership: 1994 Mellow (CD). Acquired in 1994.

1994; 2003; 6/5/24 (review / new entry)
