Atom is awesome. His QY700 is equally awesome. Atom is some guy from Philly who writes songs on a Yamaha QY700 sequencer (that's his package) so everything sounds like mad 80s music. Each song is extremely funny and every one is good (with the exception of "Punk Rock Academy" which has been overpopularized). Atom does some instrumentals ("People in this Computer Lab Should Shut the Hell Up", "Sting Cannot Possibly Be the Same Guy Who Was in the Police", "Reset the Crotchelator", and "Pat and Atom are Friends"). Other songs make no sense ("80s Bastard" and "No Head"). He even covers Fugazi and Youth of Today (neither sounds like the original). The concluding song, "No Way DNA" is actually from his old band Fracture, and is really good too.
