Having the distinction of releasing three albums under three different names but without changing their personnel, this quartet from Sicily includes the brothers Agostino and Antonio Marangolo (drums and keyboards, respectively), their cousin Carlo Pennisi on guitar, and Elio Volpini on bass and sax. Based in Rome, they played under the name FLEA ON THE HONEY and then FLEA, having released two good albums ("Flea on the Honey" in 1971 and "Topi o Uomini" in 1972) in the hard progressive rock vein. Following the release of "Topi o Uomini," bassist Elio Volpini left the band to join his keyboard-playing brother Enzi in L'UOVO DI COLOMBO. He was replaced in FLEA briefly by Fabio Pignatelli, who later left to join CHERRY FIVE and GOBLIN. FLEA then broke up for a short time.

In 1975 the original four members reunited and changed their name to ETNA. Their only eponymous album represents a major shift in musical style to Jazz Rock. The style emphasizes melodic jazz rock, similar to NOVA and IL BARICENTRO, as opposed to the lightning fast style of some of the Fusion bands of the day.

The group then broke up for the last time. Elio Volpini played with many musicians on stage and in the studio. Agostino Marangolo joined GOBLIN and was later involved in NEW PERIGEO and later in the new version of NAPOLI CENTRALE. Antonio Marangalo had a successful career as a session musician and released a solo album "Duo" in 1987. Carlo Pennisi played briefly in LIBRA, MEDITERRANEO, GOBLIN, and NEW PERIGEO. The Marangolo brothers and cousin Carlo Pennisi played together again on Agostino's 2001 solo album "Day By Day," which is supposed to be similar to WEATHER REPORT in style.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Etna's song "Aniol" portray the persona of an angel that longs to give love to a particular person. The angel is aware that she is the person's dream, and now she acknowledges that. The angel is in contact with the person, feeling that person's warmth within her. The song expresses the idea that there is heaven within us, that our hearts emit a shining light that warms others. The persona is dissolving in this feeling, overwhelmed by the warmth of love.

The song proceeds to request wings, wanting to be shown the way to paradise, wanting to be captured by the magnificence and the ecstasy of the moment. The strength is within, let us forget time and indulge in pleasure, and sustain this feeling of joy for as long as possible. This song alludes to the perspective that we all have an angelic nature within, capable of spreading love and bringing joy to everyone.
