Marion Raven sounded like marketing to me. Because she had a solo career on the rise and to work with Meat she had opportunities to be on more TV and touring the world. Something I'm sure would have taken a little more time without Meat, imo.
As for Mr. Laurie, we've heard Meat say that he slipped Hugh a note asking him about recording a song. Hugh agreed. I don't see it anymore than that. Same applies with Jack, I see them both as enthusiastic artists who wanted to play a song together.
In reguards to the hip hop, its rather surprising to hear on the new ML album. But I see it lesser marketing and more a collaborative effort. It was experimental and to me it was successful.
