As much as I'm sure Martin is a nice, perceptive, gentle individual, on
this count I disagree with him completely.  Matt goes for sounds that
are kind of odd -- warbly vibrato, samples played way below their natural
pitch.  This is something that you either 'get' or you don't.

At a party I was at recently we put on "Ghost" and 1/2 the people there
thought it was brilliant, and the other half actually left the premises
after one track.

Which just goes to show that, as always it pays to listen before you buy.
