Electribe 101 / Electribal Memories 4CD deluxe set
Electribe 101 reissue their 1990 debut album
Signed 4CD set available
Soulful and moody house band Electribe 101 see their 1990 debut album, Electribal Memories, reissued as a 4CD deluxe edition, and on vinyl, in March this year.
Electribe 101 formed when Hamburg-born/London-based sometime S’ Express member, Billie Ray Martin, hooked up with four musician/producers from Birmingham (Joe Stevens, Les Fleming, Rob Cimarosti and Brian Nordhoff) who answered her advert in the Melody Maker: “Soul rebel seeks musicians – genius only”. Their sound was influenced by the deep house music coming out of Chicago but with a European twist.
The band released five singles in the UK, all of which featured on Electribal Memories, the only album they released (at the time). Those singles were Tell Me When The Fever Ended, Talking With Myself, You’re Walking, Lipstick On My Lover and a cover of Odyssey’s Inside Out.
The new 4CD deluxe edition of Electribal Memories includes remixes, extended versions, radio edits and original band demos. It’s also being reissued as a half-speed mastered vinyl LP. A limited edition signed version of the CD set is also available via Amazon in the UK.
The collection was compiled by writer and DJ Bill Brewster and comes with new sleeve notes by singer Billie Ray Martin. It also features an essay by Pete Paphides.
The reissue of Electribal Memories follows on from the 2022 release of the group’s ‘lost’ second album, Electribal Soul (SDE interviewed Billie Ray Martin at the time)
Electribal Memories is reissued on 15 March 2024, via Demon Music. The signed 4CD edition is limited to 1000 units and includes a print signed by Billie Ray Martin.
