From Blabbermouth.net: DREAM THEATER drummer Mike Portnoy entered the studio this past weekend to record the drums for the second OSI (OFFICE OF STRATEGIC INFLUENCE) album, tentatively due in early 2006 via InsideOut Music. "Initially I wasn't going to partake in the album and had passed on the offer, but I guess the moral of the story is, 'Never say never,'" Portnoy said. OSI's upcoming CD will once again feature FATES WARNING guitarist Jim Matheos and ex-DREAM THEATER keyboardist Kevin Moore. The group's debut album, which came out in 2003 via InsideOut, also included former CYNIC bassist Sean Malone. Thats good that Portnoy is doing the second OSI CD, he did a great job on the last one. I hope Kevin Moore also keeps creative control of this project too, as the subtle electronica/prog soundscapes were a fresh sound, he has great tastefulness in his writing. Also, Sean Malone would be great for the second OSI, but King Crimson's Trey Gunn is also rumoured to be involved. However that works out, it will still be awesome.
