| 5/1 - The next Bexarametric album is in the works. It will be called the BEX IDM LP. It will be a double CD of around 25 songs. The mixing and mastering work will begin this summer. The release date is looking like the fall or winter of 2003. Clark Crawford (Mr. Harten/Flick), who heads sound design for Acclaim, once again will be taking on the duties to mix and master the upcoming album. Look for the first disc to feature Bex's harder and faster material while the second CD will focus more on the softer side. He has plans to feature guest artists on vocals, guitar and drums for certain tracks. The release date is nowhere near official. Bex says that the album will not be released until he is completely satisfied with the near 160 minute offering. Plans for a vinyl release, which will feature certain selections from the album, is also planned. For the time being though, the main focus will be on releasing a CD. |

Only time will tell. In other news, Bexarametric is working with vocalist Aaron Cason and drummer Burt Morton on the first single for the Bex Idm Lp.

So far the demo version is clocking in around 8 minutes. Look for possibly two or three versions to appear on the album.
