The album was re-released in 1998 with three remixes of "Talking with Myself," which had gained popularity that year and was again released as a single, reaching number 39 in the UK Singles Chart.
In 2002, the album was reissued again under the title ''The Best of Electribe 101 Featuring Billie Ray Martin''. The album has never been released in the United States, and the first pressing was only available as an import, despite the release of the album's singles there.
A second album, ''Electribal Soul'', was shelved until 2022.
