Tiles Recruit Mike Portnoy, Ian Anderson For New Album

. (TeamRock Radio) Mike Portnoy has joined Ian Anderson and others in making a guest appearance on the upcoming double album from Tiles. The US prog outfit have confirmed their sixth record will now be called Pretending To Run, after it became a far more complex project than they'd originally envisaged.

Among those also appearing are Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree), Adam Holzman (Steven Wilson) Kim Mitchell (Max Webster) and Mike Stern (Miles Davis).

Anderson - who appears at the inaugural Ramblin' Man Fair in Kent in July - last year accepted a long-standing invitation to guest with Tiles, after he'd become a fan in 1999. The album was known as Other Arrangements at that stage.

Herin said at the time: "We sent Ian a moody atmospheric tune, and he wove some cool melodies in between vocal phrases - then cut loose with his trademark improvisation during the rideout solo. I think I listened to it 20 times to make sure it really happened." Read more here.
