It's no secret that I'm a sucker for both bands so although I can see that this is not going to go down as a major milestone in either IAs or The Darkness career, for me it's a good bit of fun and if a bit of cross pollination comes out of it then so much the better!

I think IA's contribution to the recorded piece is something he can do in 10 minutes in the studio. He seems to be good at that. Mind you the studio set-up time for a one off flute instrumental such as this must be horrendous. Maybe he's working on something else at the same time ?

IA's contributions such as this were once described somewhere as his "noodlings" - he can knock them out ad infinitum but I've always wondered if he does them for free or whether he charges musician's union rates. uk.music-jobs.comThe Musicians Union and The BPI have negotiated a new deal for commissioning and paying session musicians in the United Kingdom. The new arrangement comes after three years of discussions & will spell the end of complicated contracts between labels and session artists. The new regulations will apply to sessions from June 1st 2011 onwards and will both protect the individual and assist the label in budgeting projects.
The process has been condensed so that musicians and record labels will only have one page agreements to sign. MU General Secretary John Smith ”the new arrangement represents a new way of working”. The rates for the General Agreement were last increased in July 2006 and under the new contract sessions fees have increased, with the standard audio session fee for a non-classical recording now set at £120 (up from £113.40).www.musiciansunion.org.uk/

The drummer in spotted pants needs to position his kick drum closer to him.

Ian definately does not charge for this kind of thing, I've heard him say on many an interview, and read many an article that says he does what he does, and leaves it up to the artiste to use it or not. Very good of him I think. I read about his contribution to the Darkness track, and it was very time consuming for him, taking if I remember the best part of a day to do it, and Ian is a very busy guy without that much spare time......... So well done Ian....... With today's digital recording technology I assume that the basic track would have been recorded onto a computer hard disc. If that's the case, would the Darkness have sent the hard disc to IA or would it have been a simpler operation? In the analogue days it would have been a tape of the song that they would have sent to him but I'd like to know exactly how it's done.

I can't really think of any 'ian helping' bits being truly indispensable or worth more than a couple listens...the closest to keepers would be the unrequested lyrics he added to the 'Bursting bladder's' song by the six and violence and some of the flute work on the maddy Prior album that had all kinds of Tull help...I think his most notable, non-Tull/solo work ever was production on 'Now We Are Six'.

I agree steelmonkey, but that's not his fault, he is asked to put some flute on a track, and does so....... The track might not be too clever in the first place...... ...and if he declines......he will be seen as a musical snob.. ..he can't win........ I'm sure you will think the same steelmonkey.....

By Danny Coleman . . . . . . The image of rock musicians, "Prancing" brings to mind another certain rock act from the UK, one with an immensely talented front man who plays the flute. “Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull that harkens back to Robin Hood; doesn’t it? Men in tights and that’s a pretty English thing isn’t it? Actually, back at home in my living room I have a Jethro Tull print upon my wall. Also, Ian played flute on a track of ours called, “Cannonball,” it was a bonus track that we put on our album, “Hot Cakes.” You can find it on Spotify or iTunes and it’s got a minute and a half flute solo and it’s a beautiful piece of music. We didn’t actually meet him, we sent him the track and he put so many different moods in the solo. He takes it right down, he starts off jaunty and he’s rockin’ out and then he takes it right down and goes into a pastoral light of fancy; he really is a brilliant musician.”
