"...you who read this work of mine without malice,
may you reach lifes goal without hindrance.
And may my prayers that failed to reach the harsh gods,
on my own behalf, have power for you!
You'll have many friends while you're fortunate:
when the weathers cloudy, you'll be alone.
See how the doves fly to a whitened dovecote,
but a weathered turret never attracts the birds.
Ants never head for an empty granary:
no friends gather round when your wealth is gone.
As a shadow trails those passing through the sun,
and flies when its hidden, weighed down by the cloud,
so the fickle crowd chases the glow of Fortune:
when its clothed in nights veil, the crowd is gone.
I pray this might always prove false for you:
yet its truth must be admitted from my case.
While I stood firm, my house was crowded enough,
indeed, well known, though it wasn't ostentatious.
But when the blow came, they all feared its downfall,
and discreetly turned away, in shared flight..."
Gods Of Electricity is the brainchild of experimental guitarist / synthesist M. Fazio from orchestramaxfieldparrish and drummer / percussionist Thomas Hamlin of Black 47. Both members have played with post punk psych artrockers Chill Faction who along with the performance poet Copernicus, were the first American rock band to gain access and tour behind the Iron Curtain (1989-1990).
This recording is dedicated to Allison Steele, The Nightbird, who has finally flown from this earth. For without her unending quest for presenting and promoting new and different musical artists, this music would have never been realized.
