Quantum (album)
Quantum is the third studio album by instrumental rock/progressive metal supergroup Planet X, released in 2007 (see release history) through Inside Out Music. Guitarist Allan Holdsworth was originally slated to feature on all tracks, but he mistakenly deleted most of the material he had recorded;[3] as a result, his solos remain only on "Desert Girl" and "The Thinking Stone".
In a 2012 article by MusicRadar, Dream Theater drummer Mike Mangini ranked the album tenth in his list of most influential drum albums.[4]
