My name is Eric Yacula
I was a former musical associate of one O. Gleem, the low end jabber of the band E Conspectu. My association with him came by way of the Chicago trio, the A.J. Rosales Trio. I was one third of the trio (obviously). I have subsequently left the Windy City to pursue my journey else where. I currently reside in the desert mountains of New Mexico. I had anticipated E Conspectu's latest CD for quite some time. While Gleem and I were "music-ing" together he had told me of the band the the possible release of this CD. Through many steps of the birth of "Grout Instant", I had heard reports from Gleem. And when I received news of it's completion I was elated........
Then I got to hear it. Needless to say, it surpassed my expectations.
Sound quality = excellent
Music quality = excellent, original very angular, and odd. A tattered symphony
that synchronizes into a medley of textured beauty cascading in a chaotic but
natural flow. All topped off my the intricate lyrics and sung with perfect resemblance
to the music's character. Simply put, I love it.
I quickly corresponded with Gleem about this music and my adoration for it. It has since inspired me to use it for another medium. I advised him I just may use "Skids Morpheus" and "Brooch" in a skateboard video that I am creating.
The video is not for sale and will not be for sale (not to worry). It's for my own personal viewing (cuz I'm skating in it). Gleem will receive a copy so that his approval will be bestowed upon my multi media artistic statement. I'm curious to know if this site, or other members, would like to obtain a copy as well.
Any art that inspires other art is great ART and I feel E Conspectu's Grout Instant easily fulfills the criteria. My thanks and congratulations go out to each member of the band and anyone who had a hand in it's inception, production and completion.
Sincerely, Eric Yacula

Mr. Yakula:
Thanks for your kind words regarding Grout Instant. We would love to see what you've done with your viddy project, and I know that HRH Liz (our loyal web host) would happily post some of the media on the 'Spec site.
I did try skateboarding. Once.
Cheers,

From HRH Liz to Song of the Month Applicant Andrew Abrahamson. Abrahamson, in his application, had identified Tequila Martinis as his favorite drink.
Mr. Abrahamson:
Thanks for registering for E Conspectu's Song of the Month Club. We are happy to have you on board, although I personally find the idea of a Tequila Martini obnoxious. I have trouble enough with Vodka Martinis.
Properly, a Martini is made with low-shelf gin, and it makes you angry and quite bitter.
Regards,
Your Majesty the Queen of England

Your Majesty,
You are, of course, correct as to gin being proper. However, I do guarantee that a tequila martini, if one is expecting the other, will make you incomparably angry and bitter. It's merits may lie herein.
If it would please Your Majesty, and I hope I'm not overstepping my bounds here, might you might pulling some royal strings to bring the boys a night at the Hackney Empire?
Graciously, A. Abrahamson

Your Highness:
Grudge E. Nickerson, guitarman here.
I thought that I should report to you the use of the term "E Conspectu" in a popular American television programme, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Thomas Vincent Bonnay uncovered this bit of information while scouring the internet for information on the rhythmic properties of the Scarab Beetle.
If you are familiar with the show, the character Willow attempts to cast a spell, chanting, "'E conspectu abeat monstrum." I believe Willow is attempting to make a monster disappear. Instead, she renders a cash register invisible.
We haven't established an official band policy on the activities of commerce and capitalism, however I personally enjoy seeing cash registers disappear.
As always, deferring,
Grudge

Your Highness:
From whence does E Conspectu's name originate?
Supplicantly yours,

Dearest Expatriate Supplicant:
"E Conspectu" means "Out of sight" in Latin. I trace its usage back to bassist Owen Gleem's tattered copy of "The Aeneid," specifically from a verse Gleemie roughly translates as "...hardly out of sight of the Sicilian land they gladly gave in the sea even and the foam churned salt up in the mist, the wound under the heart saving them here with it by the eternal moon."
E Conspectu's prehumous presence in such an central piece of epic poetry has flummoxed Classics scholars the world over.
Regards,
HRHEW
