Just really, really terrible. I checked this out on YouTube again recently just to see how some of the music that seemed interesting (if only by virtue of it being novel in production values) 30 years ago would fare now. In this case, anyway: not good. Sounds like a really amateurish 4-track "industrial" demo and barely even a professional production. It's not really an indictment this particular record, though: it seems like the whole 80's-early 90's industrial genre just didn't age terribly well. In any case, just check this out before you buy it, as it strikes me as a very big swing and miss in Alternative Tentacles' otherwise decent back catalogue.
