Untitled[edit]
If we list Groove Corporation singles, then we risk including Billie's not-so-brief discography, and Groove Corporation should really get it's own category anyway, right? I've never heard the single, does it feature Billie? Also, I'm positive from articles I read in 1989 that a Soviet appliance (refrigerator most likely) was the source of the name, but now the Korg synthesizers seem equally likely. Can someone link a source to clear this up?
The band's name was a mixture of electricty and tribal: electribe. It was felt that the music should encapsulate the primitive and technological. The decision about the following numbers was this: 101 or 303.
Korg named their instruments AFTER the band
Merge[edit]
Talking with Myself is scarcely notable enough on its own to deserve an article; it is presently uncategorized and orphaned other than a link that would disappear with the merger. Electribe 101 is a short article in itself. A merger seems an obvious proposition to me. --Legis (talk - contribs) 19:31, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
So should someone take care of that, then? I'll be glad to.

- Billie herself asked me to update the page because so much was incorrect on it. I've just rewritten most of the text, removed and added links and sources to data. I used to run a BRM website (90s/00s), so I had a lot of articles to back up most of the data.
- Groove Corporation is a separate group, not a direct continuation of E101. They've done a lot of great music and certainly would deserve a page of their own. Billie has nothing to do with the group.
- Eric Robinson of Eric and the Good Good Feeling info was quite off topic here, it's more like ER and BRM happened to be on the same single. Comparison to ER's success is comletely pointless.
- Most off-topic/generic links removed: single, refrigerator, music press, Odyssey (greek mythology), British, etc.....
- Quite a few releases added to the list, including the 'new' ones. Jopla2 (talk) 18:30, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
