The Residents - God In Three Persons (CD)

An epic poem set to music, The Residents have created a masterful concept album. Complex, violent and graphic. God in Three Persons is a tremendously complex project--a Residents novel in its symbolic depth. The album explores the relationship between a pair of androgynous Siamese twins and the cowboy who loves them. The narrative tells the story of the cowboy's exploitation of the twins talents as faith healers, and the furtive sexual dalliances that builds to a spectacular and disturbing climax.The story combines all the dualities--love and hate, tenderness and violence, heterosexuality and homosexuality, sin and purity, earthiness and transcendence.All these dualities will forever remain separate but inseparable.Track Listing Main Titles (God in Three Persons) Hard & Tenderly Devotion' The Thing About Them Their Early Years Loss of a Loved One The Touch The Service Confused (By What I Felt Inside) Fine Fat Flies Time Silver, Sharp, and Could Not Care Kiss of Flesh Pain and Ple
