After 'Electribal Memories', Electribe 101 called it a day. Since then, the album's reputation has grown in stature and many of it's' singles' attendant remixes have become sought-after rarities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cultural earthquake prompted by the late-1980s 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 1988-1991, classic albums from the scene were rather more of a rarity.
