Demon Music are happy to present ndash Electribe 101 lsquoElectribal Memoriesrsquo, this stunning halfspeed master vinyl edition cut from the original tapes by Barry Grint at Air Studios.Formed when Hamburgborn Londonbased, sometimes Srsquo Express member Billie Ray Martin hooked up with four musician producers from Birmingham, Electribe 101 instantly hit upon a sound heavily influenced by the de rigueur deep house sounds of Chicago and Detroit but with a distinctive European twist.
With Billie Ray up front, with a voice like ice on fire and looking as if shersquod stepped forward in time from a circa1966 Mary Quant catwalk, the band were instantly snapped up by Mercury Records, and taken under the wing of Pet Shop Boys manager Tom Watkins.The band released five singles in the UK, and all featured on their debut album lsquoElectribal Memoriesrsquo ndash lsquoTell Me When The Fever Endedrsquo, lsquoTalking With Myselfrsquo, lsquoYoursquore Walkingrsquo, lsquoLipstick On My Loverrsquo and an incredible cover of Odysseyrsquos deep soul classic lsquoInside Outrsquo.
When the album arrived in 1990, it was an instant hit with critics ndash immaculately produced, poised, luxurious and soulful, it was difficult to believe it was a debut record at all.After lsquoElectribal Memoriesrsquo, Electribe 101 called it a day.
Since then, the albumrsquos reputation has grown in stature and many of itsrsquo singlesrsquo attendant remixes have become soughtafter rarities.
The cultural earthquake prompted by the late1980s arrival on these shores of house, acid and rave prompted many a legendary club night and a generation of superstar DJ producers.
While there were a myriad of great club tracks produced in that heady period between 19881991, classic albums from the scene were rather more of a rarity.
One towering exception was the debut by Electribe 101hellip
