Ectophile 

This comes from the Happy Rhodes album "Ecto". Back in 1991, there was a mailing list sent out to discuss her music, and it was also called Ecto. However, the fans who got this mailing list also wanted to discuss other music they liked, and thus, became ectophiles.
An Ectophile might like music by Sarah McLachlan, Loreena McKinnit, or Jewel.
