1988 German Torso label 11-track LP featuring the instrumental music from San Francisco avant-garde combos superb avant-rock opera 'God In Three Persons'... which lays out the story of Mr. X and the Siamese twins with  miraculous healing powers... written in trochaic octameter, a rare poetic meter most famously used in Edgar Allen Poe's poem The Raven. Allmusics "Blue" Gene Tyranny wrote that '... the musical elements are deceptively minimal- most of its 14 episodes have only two chords which, however, still manage to instantly produce the correct atmosphere... There are only passing riffs, more like comments, and the only melody in the whole piece is a wheezy organ quote... "
