X album entitled "Moon Babies". Here is a part of
letter that Derek
wrote to fans :
Not only that, but you can now order the "Making of Moon Babies". Vol. 1 and 2. All of songs are rough tracks. $20 per volume. Also, for a limited time you can order the 3-pack "Making
of..." CDs. This includes BOTH volumes of the Making of "Moon

September 25th 2001 - Planet X News... Virgil has been busy cutting some tracks for the new upcoming Planet X album. There are a couple of Planet X dates that have been added (2 European dates, 1 U.S. date). Here they are : Oct 26th - National Palace of Culture - Sofia, Bulgaria August 31st 2001 - More dates! We want to apologize for the little misunderstanding regarding the upcoming Steve Vai European dates. A lot of fans have e-mailed about the G3 European dates.

The changes have been made along with the addition of some clinic dates and more Steve Vai and G3 gigs (in Mexico). Click here to check it out... For the interested, the Modern Drummer Festival Weekend pics from last May are in the latest issue of Modern Drummer Magazine for the month of October.
