Planet X is the first studio album by keyboardist Derek Sherinian, released on July 13, 1999 through Magna Carta Records.[2] The album was devised after Sherinian left progressive metal band Dream Theater in January 1999. He then joined drummer Virgil Donati in forming a band also named Planet X,[3] which released their own first album Universe in 2000.[4] Guitarist Brett Garsed, who plays on Planet X, would later return on the band Planet X's album Quantum in 2007.
