Big thanks brothers James, Wookiee and Daryl.  Andy said something that made me think. Not any permanent mixing decisions can be made without the videos audio track. Only thing I'm planning for the audio from the video is to mix it like low fi AM radio and try to keep it centered so I at least have the sides. Just a theory at this point.
 
 In any case the resulting track will not be whole without the video so I'm planning on finishing and mixing a version without the video. Thanks for listening

Kickass guitar leads!
 
Overall mix sounds a bit overcompressed and crunchy though.  Are you uploading as a WAV or MP3 to soundcloud?  If you upload as WAV it usually gives better results.  Or maybe that's the way you intended the mix to be, because it's intended as a backing track underneath a voiceover?

Thanks Walt, as far as uploading as a wave file, I have always uploaded as mp3, I will upload as wave in the future, thanks for that tip.
So far not much mixing going on, I'm considering adding another change, some synths and I might be able to coax Robbie to play live bass. This one has been downgraded to demo status until a few decisions are made. Great to see you back and to have your ear brother.

Good piece. Guitar and drum parts are really cool. It is muddy sounding in that much of it is overly compressed maybe. Make sure there is no spiking or distortion unintended on each track. 
This piece should work well.

Nice song, Grant! Nice, funky little beat and some tasty guitar work!

Nice guitar work, Grant.  Without the voice over, the mix does sound a bit over compressed, but in context may work very well.  I'd like to hear it when you think it's done.
