Tiles biography
The American quartet TILES hails from Detroit. TILES has a Rush meets Extreme kind of a hard rock sound. Their debut disc was a bit on the simplistic side, but their latest music is a realm dominated by SHADOW GALLERY and ENCHANT. The music is atmospheric on a vast level and well orchestrated with lots of layers. There is a greater use of acoustic instruments (mandolin, acoustic guitar and violin) and ballad structures. They bring us further refinement in their magical blend of prog sensibility and hard-rock energy. For fans of a technical brand of semi-prog hard rock!

In 1997, the band bring Terry Brown as a producer for the album "Fence the Clear". They reached the international music scene in 1995 by releasing their albums worldwide.The album "Presents of Mind" solidified the band's place in the progressive rock scene. They received an invitation from DREAM THEATER to open one of their concert in Europe in 1999. IAN ANDERSON of JETHRO TULL said "Beg, steal or borrow "Presents of Mind" immediately.If you have to, even pay for it." The band is currently finishing the recording of a double album "Pretending to Run", a concept album about the tale of a person disillusioned by betrayal and struggling with reality. The band has worked with a choir and special guests for this new album such as IAN ANDERSON, MIKE PORTNOY, COLIN EDWIN ans MATHEW PARMENTER.
