Matador is very eclectic, and yet somehow is held together, often with the help of his growing collection of analogue synthesisers, that not unexpectedly, give the recording a certain depth and warmth that digital just can't achieve… To add to the overall sound vibe, there's a stream of consciousness here and there, an extension of the absurdist philosophy that informed his previous album. As Coombes has previously said: 'I find the contradictory side of life fascinating', as he tries to tie everything together, in attempting to make some kind of sense of our contradictory ways.

In a very general sense, anyone who regularly reads and participates in music criticism/music boards like ILM has eclectic taste compared to the average person. Compared to the rest of ILM, I have fairly narrow tastes, but I wouldn't visit this site if all I was interested in were a small handful of genres. I assume most of you are the same in that respect.

Too many people on this thread conflating "the community of ILM as a whole has eclectic tastes in music" with "ergo, all the individuals in that community have eclectic tastes."

I don't really know what the norm in music currently is since I tend to pick up bits and pieces from various places constantly.Not very sure what is current anyway. Think most of what i'm listening to is normally several decades old but am pickking up current live sets from torrent sites.
Assume that means it's eclectic to some extent.
& do wonder how well known anybody I'm into actually is.BUt then again if it is possible to find the pre-remaster Beatles Rubber Soul cd put in a record shop rack under R I wonder how well known anything actually is generation to generation.

what if there's a silent majority of people with eclectic tastes who just don't think it's anything to crow about
