I will be uploading some tracks to this page sometime within the next two weeks--and more over time. These will be tracks dating back to my very 1st recording from when I was 17 (1988), and all the way up to the formation of Atomic Honey. I have lots of interesting stuff (Notice I don't say "good," just "interesting") that will hopefully give our fans an idea of where we came from, and just how something like Atomic Honey ended up happening. Stay tuned...Kev 1/25/11

This song was recorded using a Boss BR-32 digital 4-track recorder.
  Distance
This song would have been recorded around 2002. Ultimately, it's inspiration was a poem written by St. Fancis of Assisi. The guitar solo was intended to simulate a high-speed car accident, including the arrival of an ambulance.

  For What It's Worth
I sort of had a love interest at the time, and she was pretty much the inspiration behind the song. I had Bono in mind for the vocal intro, and Alice Cooper the rest of the way through. The ending of the main guitar solo was intended to be sort of a "sneaky" version of the wedding march.

  mY ANgAra
This song was inspired and recorded for previously mentioned love interest (see "For What It's Worth"), and is based upon a Russian folk tale called "Angara The Beautiful" if I remember correctly. There is a speaking part in the song that was intentionally recorded a low enough level so that the listener would try to pick up the words but never quite could. For the record, it is a quote from Robert  Louis Stevenson's "Travels With A Donkey."

  Come And See Me
No real inspiration behind this song. I had just gotten the 4-track earlier that day and was learning how to use it (hence, the drums do not change thoughout the song). The simple bass line came to me first, and I just sort of added stuff to that afterward.

  Always Near
This was written for the sole purpose of letting my mother know how I felt about her, and was intentionally made very simple and raw--I wanted a feeling of intimacy to be sensed by the listener.

These 2 songs were recording using a Fostex X-15 4-track, a Casio keyboard, an Ibanez Roadstar II (I still have this guitar, by the way), and a Crate amp with 2-12's.
These were the first two things I ever recorded which were untitled instrumentals using a Casio keyboard for drums and a Fostex X-15 4-Track cassette recorder (sold to me by my good friends at DBMusic here in Anchorage, AK).


This would have been recorded sometime in 1988, when I was 17 years old.

This "idea" was recorded using the same Fostex X-15 as above, and a Washburn GV-3.
This was the original "sketch" of a song that was to be called "4 Days An Eternity" and was written while my girlfriend at the time was dumping me for a bass player in a redneck biker cover band. Ultimately, I did get revenge in two ways: 1.)Die Hard Atomic Honey fans will notice this idea became the song (see above) mY ANgAra, and was inspired by someone much more worthy. 2.)After she dumped me, I ended up dating the female guitar player/vocalist of that very same aforementioned redneck biker cover band. Ahh, the memories.




This idea was recorded sometime late in 1991. I only include it here because of the story behind it.
