Electribe 101 was a British based electronic music group in the late 1980s and early 1990s, managed by Tom Watkins of Bros, Pet Shop Boys, and 2wo Third3 fame. Career Named after a Soviet refrigerator and/or the popular Roland SH-101 synthesiser, the band was comprised of four electronic composers/producer from Birmingham. These were (Brian Nordhoff, Joe Stevens, Les Fleming, and Roberto Cimarosti) and a female vocalist from Hamburg, Germany (Billie Ray Martin). Before signing to Mercury Records in 1988, they released their first single "Talking With Myself" without much success. However before the next single release, Billie Ray Martin guested with Eric Robinson of Eric and the Good Good Feeling on the S'Express record, "Hey Music Lover". The Top Ten success of "Hey Music Lover" sparked interest from the music press in Billie Ray Martin's band, though Eric and the Good Good Feeling's album flopped on Exquinox. Electribe
