I always like a good clanking, "stringy" bass guitar sound like this. Reminds me of Steve Di Giorgio's playing in Sadus.

If I'm gonna nitpick, I'll say that the songwriting could be a bit better. Seems quite all over the place a lot of the time.
It hit me hard when it was initially released, and for it's time and circumstances it's a really good effort, but after re-listening to it with older ears it does seem just a little cheesy and over-the-toply operatic at points in the album. Still some really fine playing by Kratky.

Glad you enjoyed it somewhat.
