Sounds great!
From an arrangement/production standpoint, on "Ports and Borders" my first
impression was that there are a couple of golden opportunities to add
intensity and a strong narrative curve to the arrangement with a
relief/texture change. I'll just throw out some things that might have
occurred to me to mess with - maybe [depending on bleed issues] dropping the
kit down to kick only (or snare only) or even killing the drums for 4 or 8
in a strategic location and letting those great guitar parts carry it,
bringing the drums back in on the eight-note builds (depending on how
adventurous the client lets you be and what market you're after, maybe
squish the heck out of 'em and crud 'em up with a filter and fade 'em back
up). Those "chime guitars" are a great little African hint, btw.
I almost heard the intro as being just the snare build from Bar 3 (maybe
just beats 3 & 4) copied back over bars 1 & 2 so it's an insane three-bar
build. And when it gets to the 4 bars before the vocals come in, over the G
- Gsus build, I thought of breaking it down - maybe by killing everything
but kick and snare and bringing 'em back in with the vox. That's the sort of
stuff I'd be trying out (and naturally quickly throwing away if it didn't
work). My $.02 fwiw.

Thanks Kerry, I'll forward your suggestions on to Nick. I tend to be a little
more 'aggressive' at mixdown with those sort of rethinks than the other two
guys. But they're not my songs so I can get fancy ideas.
Thanks for the compliments on the guitars. Ports and Borders is almost all
Nick, using a Fender Jaguar and my strat sometimes, I think, and a Bassman
or Top Hat depending. Hobo Rocket is almost all me, using mostly my LP and
Savage. The feedback in the intro is all LP + Savage, and was a TON of fun
to do.
When I have more complete, proper mixes I'll let y'all know.
