He joined the band and also became the ideologist of Sugar - White Death. The musicians gathered at Kohanovs'kyi's house, where they spent their free time not only playing music but also listening to and discussing new records and thinking about the conception of their new project. For two years, the band recorded a few home-made albums, such as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eRhododendrons Coral Aspides\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e in 1988 (which is considered lost), where \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eKostyantyn Dovzhenko\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e took part as a guitarist and sound engineer.

Although the journey's beginning was unsuccessful (Eugene's guitar was taken away by a customs officer when crossing the border), the musicians worked fast during the session at the Arek Was studio at Marki on an eight-track reel-to-reel machine. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBoleslav Blazhchyk\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e took part as a cellist, playing the parts created by Svitlana.
