Helmutt is one of the coolest and most unique bassists on this planet that doesn't get a lot of recognition.
I have Kraan's "Live '88" album and it gets frequent play. I LOVE his energetic and melodic lines, his unique tone and the songs themselves, melodic funky instrumental rock/funk/fusion stuff, similar in some ways to Jeff Beck's Blow By Blow or Wired era stuff but not being a clone. I don't mind the vocal tunes overly much (like "You're Right") it's just good fun music, perfect for a road trip on a long highway.
Nam Nam is a great tune, also check out "Dinner For Two", great little fiery bass/guitar duet, now expanded to include Mini-Moog in later versions.
BTW, anyone know what kind of bass he's playing? Never seen anything like it (it looks almost like a mutant Yamaha).
