I may not be on your feedback list, but as soon as I get home tonight I'm gonna listen to these tracks a few times. I'll gladly provide feedback, as a fellow conjurer of musical madness, I know how important it is to the artist.
Alright NoAge!! That was VERY enjoyable for my ears! Here's my two pennies after a few (5) listens.
"Glorious Revelations"
Second most favorite track. It sounds like you either had a guitar with uber-low frequency or you were playing bass and making use of D and G string chords. Or maybe both, either way it sounds great. The vocals/singing for the chorus compliment the music damn near perfect. There is definitely emotion in the chorus, and I really like that it builds and then mellows back out. The vocals for the verses seem choppy at certain times, but still syncopate nicely with the music.
Technical/Mastering-wise the levels sound just fine. Nothing to me at least seems or sounds over or under-powered.
"To Sleep"
I like that this song starts out nice and upbeat, and doesn't let go of that. It's got a little bit of a So-Cal surf feel to it with the percussion and the choruses. The pre-choruses are really pretty and build nicely into the choruses. It ends abruptly, and its a shorter song at 2:50, and every time it ended it kinda made me wish it was another minute longer.
Technical/Mastering - the vocal track could be bumped up a notch or two, especially in the verses.
"Hide and Seek" My favorite track. The song is unique, its trippier than the other three songs, and I dig the lyrical countdown and the time signature changes throughout. Lyrically and vocally this is my favorite of the four songs. This is a lyric-heavy track. The music does a great job of capturing and setting the mood for the lyrics and the story. I truly commend you for this work. Writing lyrics is no easy task. Making music to complement the story isn't either. The countdown to "1" and your ending lyrics are fuck'n awesome, seriously. "It was your last hide and seek. Hush hush now, no need to peek. Ready or not here I come."
Technical/Mastering - Again no complaints here. Levels are great, vocals can be heard at all times over the music. Key for this track.
"Two Lives Ended"
Builds slowly in a cool way, (reminds me of Steve Miller Band) for 1:45 and then explodes. Then the vocals come in throughout the verses. I'm kinda iffy on the verses (they're growing on me), but the choruses are freakin' fantastic. The piano outro is also clutch, and ends the song rather well.
Technical/Mastering - I couldn't sense that anything was off in this track.

It's all bass or keyboard, there isn't any guitar in any of the songs. I might add other stringed instruments to new songs, but for the most part I am not using a guitar on any of the songs.

I wanted this song to be my attempt at indie pop and when I tried to extend it, it sort of went away from that and started feeling a little too repetitive. I didn't want any part of it to be slowed down either, but rather maintain the same level of energy throughout. I agree on the bumping the vocals up a notch or two. Also the first lyric got cut out, so I am going to have to revisit it anyway.

Thanks so much! This song gave me the most trouble as far as writing/working the time signatures into each other, but I am happy with the end result. Also, when I heard the church bell setting on one of my synths, I knew I had to use it in this song. There are about twelve layers of bells and bass at the end.

;D I like the Steve Miller Band comparison. Can I ask what lyrics aren't doing it for?
Thanks again for taking the time to listen/give feedback. I really appreciate it!
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to listen. I feel like I have put my heart and soul into this music and I truly appreciate the feedback, the complements, the criticisms, and the praise. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and good tidings to all. Can't wait to show you what I have planned for 2012. -Lombardy Circle
nice! try to get a show in statesboro so I can check it out.
I'll try! I wasn't going to do a show this early, but the venue heard my music online and actually approached me for this. I was pretty stoked about that.
Come to Nashville and play. We will show up late, stand around and talk through the show, keep our arms by our sides, stare at our shoes, and talk on our phone.
Well everyone else will. I'll listen and dance. ;D

Wait: people still use phones for TALKING? I only use mine to text and take pics & vids of crazy drunk people.
Good luck w/the show tonight, NoAge!!! Please post video on your FB page if you get some. (video that is...)
Just ran across this thread... gonna check out your stuff, later this evening. Judging by your music tastes in Now Playing, I'm interested in what I'm going to hear!
