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.

Biography Jon Marsh's original advertisement in the music press Electribe 101 stood out for their mixture of hip-hop beats (used as samples to garnish their grooves), techno house, avante-garde poetry and classic American soul.

With the release of their album, they also re-released their single "Talking With Myself" which faired quite well, peaking at #23 on the UK singles chart. However, this was the last Electribe 101 song to do so.

In late 1990, the band released their reading of the classic Jesse Rae song Inside Out (a hit, amongst others, for the group Odyssey in the early 1980s. Jesse Rae is a Scottish singer from St Boswells who is particularly remembered for his single "Over the Sea" which reached number 65 in the British pop charts in 1985 The Odyssey ( Greek: Ὀδύσσεια or Odússeia) is one of two major ancient Greek epic poems attributed to Homer. Perhaps due to fallings-out with their management and a lack of a unified vision for the group's future, promotion was inadequate. The song failed to reach the Top 75. It has become an underground classic, as have all of their single releases.

Though accounts vary as to why, the group split during sessions for the never-completed second album. Not wanting to carry on under the Electribe 101 name without Billie, the band renamed themselves The Groove Corporation and signed to the Network sub-label Six6 - already home to Kevin Saunderson and his project Inner City.

A second single "Running Around Town" failed to perform as well, but the third "Imitation of Life" enjoyed a respectable release, and has become a classic in its own right. Electribe 101's importance can be discerned by their presence in Ben Watt's 2005 "Essential Mix" for Radio One: the relatively short set of mostly 2004/2005 house tracks featured their 1990 single "Inside Out" in its closing grooves. "Talking With Myself" and "Tell Me When the Fever Ended" continue to pop up in hipster-oriented "Chillout" compilations (such as the "Cafe Del Mar" series and its many knock-offs).
