It was originally released independently on December 13, 2005 on Svoy's Sixteenth Republic Records and later licensed, remastered, re-packaged and re-released May 1, 2007 by Rendezvous Entertainment/Universal Music Group to generally positive critical reviews.

As an import, the record gained substantial popularity in Japan and on July 8, 2009, was released by Tokyo-based Thistime Records as a 2-CD set featuring two bonus tracks on the first CD and Svoy's Consequence EP 1.0 on the second.

Japan edition also featured new booklet with revised extended artwork and a separate slip with biography and lyrics translated into Japanese.

In 2012, the master license to both Rendezvous/Mack Avenue and Thistime Records expired with the sound recording rights to the album reverting to Svoy.

After a brief confrontation with the labels to cease distributing the album, Svoy remastered and re-released Eclectric internationally in the fall of the same year.
