November 19, 2016, 8 years ago
Detroit prog rock titans Tiles have issued the fifth and final segment in their ongoing video interview series documenting the creation of their massive Pretending 2 Run double-disc album, released earlier this year through Laser's Edge.
The members of Tiles sat down individually and chatted about all things Pretending 2 Run. Divided into five parts and totaling nearly thirty minutes, the band takes the viewer behind-the-scenes with insights on the album's tentative beginnings, the concept and story line, artwork and variations, the many special guests involved with the record, and the multi-national recording process. Featuring plenty of studio footage and amusing anecdotes, you're sure to enjoy the journey as the band crafted an ambitious and expansive double album that's been hailed as one of the best progressive rock releases of 2016.
Tiles' Pretending 2 Run features a plethora of guest appearances, including the first recorded music with both Mike Portnoy (The Winery Dogs, Flying Colors, Dream Theater) and his son Max (Next To None), as well as well as music from Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull), Adam Holzman (Steven Wilson), Mike Stern (Miles Davis), Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree) and Kim Mitchell. The record was produced by Terry Brown (Rush, Fates Warning) and is finished with artwork by Hugh Syme (Iron Maiden, Rush, Dream Theater).
